Problem/Motivation

The current implementation relies on enabling an experimental feature in Chrome for View Transitions for navigations. This allows view transitions across page loads in a multi page application with zero JS, which feels like Drupal's long term ideal if this API is adopted by browsers. In the meantime, we could follow the lead of Astro's excellent view transitions implementation and support a single page application mode that uses client side routing and view transitions in a single page (which is more widely supported.)

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Offer both SPA and MPA driven view transitions that can be enabled or disabled. (Should it be possible to enable both at once?)

Possible implementation approaches:
* Implement custom client side routing using the history API (similar to Astro)
* Use htmx which supports both view transitions: https://htmx.org/essays/view-transitions/ and support for the history API: https://htmx.org/docs/#history. Maybe start here?
** Tricky part here might be modifying links to have the necessary htmx attributes. Can this happen client side, or do we need to write module code to modify links in order to add these attributes?
