Problem/Motivation

Currently if we want to get a Link object from a LinkItem object (i.e. field item of the "link" type), we have to get the Url and Title properties of the LinkItem separately and create instantiate a Link object ourselves:

$title = $link_item->get('title');
$url = $link_item->getUrl();
$link = \Drupal::Link->fromTextAndUrl($title, $url);
