Add support in StringFormatter for linking to the entity edit form

Created on 2 September 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

The existing StringFormatter provides a setting to link to the entity. This is commonly used in views where the title links to the entity and the operations links are used to provide links to edit.

It is more and more common as a pattern to link the title to the edit form within a CMS, and we plan to do this in Drupal CMS 2.0. Although you can do this manually, it is a bit of a workaround and is not very tidy.

It would be really useful to have the option to link the title to the edit form directly, and that could be used in admin views by default.

Proposed resolution

I am not sure exactly where this would live, if it is best done as another option in the existing formatter?
