Description
Each site in a network install has a Dashboard and a set of "edit" pages (Info/Users/Themes/Settings).
The "edit" page URLs are /wp-admin/network/site-settingsName.php?id=id where settingsName is info, users, themes, or settings. The Dashboard URL is /siteName/wp-admin/ where siteName is, I think?, the site's Path field as shown in /wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=id but without the leading and trailing slashes.
The problem is if I am in the "edit" pages and want to go to the site's dashboard, I have to click on Sites, then hunt down the site in the list, then click Dashboard while hovering the mouse over the site's row. I have a similarly convoluted process to get from a Dashboard to the "edit" pages.
Does this need to be so complicated? It would be nice for network admins to see links on every Dashboard or "edit" page that allows the user to go back and forth between the two easily.
Or even better, how about making the "edit" pages just show up as additional items in the Dashboard?

I believe this was fixed with the new My Sites menu in the 3.3 Toolbar.

The only change to My Sites menu in 3.3 seems to be moving Network Admin there. Not sure if it fixes the described issue — the same steps are still required to go from a site edit page to its Dashboard.

Patch adds an "Edit Site" submenu to the admin bar site menu when a super admin visits a blog's dashboard.

On the Network Admin side, My Sites could drop the Network Admin menu and replace it with the site being edited when visiting the site-*.php pages.

PoC, but this is a bit of an abuse of My Sites and may be too clever.
Since the Users, Themes, and Settings tabs have analogous pages in the site admin, perhaps linking to those pages directly in the tabs is best.

I missed this ticket when we did #32525, which completed the second half.
- "Edit Site" in the site dashboard was added on this ticket in [19855]
- A link back to the dashboard was added in the site edit screen in [33186]
I think this solves the overall problem of going cleanly between editing a site at the network level and managing a site at the site level.
