Admin Bar: add link to Learn to WordPress menu

[jeherve]

Tutorials and lessons on ​learn.wordpress.org have become useful resources to many WordPress site owners. In #57785, we're discussing adding links to those resources inside a dashboard widget.

In this Trac ticket, I'd like to suggest adding a link to the site to the existing WordPress menu in the top admin bar. It would be a great addition to the menu, providing quick access to those resources from anywhere in your WordPress dashboard.

Adding a link to WordPress.org' Learn section would be a great addition to the menu, providing quick access to those resources from anywhere in your WordPress dashboard.

This option looks good to me as it can help new learners direct from their dashboard. Here I have one small suggestion that the link should open to the new tab.

Thanks for the ticket and for the PR.
The proposed PR works fine. Moving to milestone 6.4 and self assigning for commit.

@mikinc860: except for very specific cases, opening a link in a new window/tab is bad. Please have a look ​at the related section of the Accessibility Handbook :)

#58595 might move all those external links to a dedicated admin page so they have more context. It also could avoid surprising anyone by opening links in a new tab (or the same tab when expectations are different).

See ideas also on #57785, including the Slack discussion with Andrea.

@courane01 Needs to move forward this ticket. In bug-scrub meeting we are trying to move this ticket forward.

Thanks for the patch, however AFAIK the Learn link doesn't seem to need any internationalization since people are being redirected automatically to their language.

Replying to audrasjb:

Thanks for the patch, however AFAIK the Learn link doesn't seem to need any internationalization since people are being redirected automatically to their language.

👍 I refreshed my pull request to remove internationalization on the link. I had originally added it to match the format used for the other links in the admin bar, but I'm happy to leave it out if it's not necessary.

Noting that there is also conversation about this here:

This is not the best solution for new users but should be considered as the best we can do before the admin redesign.

Changes requested were made in ​PR 4854 and approved by @audrasjb. Marking it for commit.

In 56720:

Toolbar: Link to Learn WordPress in the WordPress Logo menu.

This aims to make the various resources on learn.wordpress.org more easily available.
