No way to access Media Link while adding/editing Media

[vickybiswas]

There is no way to access the link(url) for a media file in the new Media UI.

Submitting a patch to do the same.

Can you please re-patch without touching the minified CSS? That isn't necessary, and will end up rendering the patch stale really quick (if anything else changes in the file). Thanks!

I've been thinking about this for some time. Is the URL necessary? I'm not sure where it should go. It's useful to have it there if you need it, but it really gets in the way if you don't. Maybe show it near the metadata (dimensions, name, file type, etc.), style it like text but make it a readonly input?

The URL is indeed needed for various purposes. I have tried to put it in the place where it will least come in the way. Seems your idea matches what I have done. Uploading a screenshot along with the repatch.

Patch to add a url

This is great. Let's see if we can compress it a bit more with some CSS for this one field. (Patches welcome.) Assigning to koopersmith for eventual review.

In the media modal, show the Link To: url.
