Allow inline links in Notice content

[danielbachhuber]

We have an existing admin notice in the Classic Editor that has both a button (action) and link (documentation reference):

With the Block Editor Notices API, it's only possible to represent both of these as actions:

Ideally, it'd be possible to include inline links for informational content, and keep actions for their semantic purpose.

Related #13116. It'd be nice to make "Convert" a button again.

I think I've read/seen somewhere that there's some intention behind making the notices opinionated to keep the design consistent wherever they are used. However I 100% agree that we need some way of implementing inline links.

I wonder if one possible solution here would be to allow notice content to contain whitelisted components specific to a notice. So something like this could be used:

const inlineLink = <NoticeLink href="https://linky.com">with linked text</NoticeLink>;
const noticeContent = <Fragment>
	<NoticeParagraph>
		My success notice { inlineLink }
	</NoticeParagraph>
	<NoticeParagraph>
		Some additional content here.
	</NoticeParagraph>
</Fragment>
wp.data.dispatch( 'core/notices' ).createSuccessNotice( noticeContent );

Upside to this approach is a white-listed set of allowed components gives greater flexibility for the content. One downside however is localizing the content (when it's across multiple components like the given example).

Could we get an update on this issue?
Thanks.

This still isn't possible. IIRC this is for security reasons.

Links would be nice to have, but I think this is very low priority because it's fairly complex to solve and something that can be worked around by implementors.

If this issue is still open with no activity the next time someone checks it, we should consider closing as stale/not implemented.
