Scheduled post does not show correct url on preview

Support request from: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/real-url-not-showing-in-preview

Creating a scheduled post and then previewing it does not show the correct url.

Step by step.

1. Create a post.
2. Set a date forward in time to make it scheduled.

3. Click Schedule.

4. Click Schedule again.

5. Notice the post URL.

The URL needs to show the correct URL.

Use case mentioned by user in the Gutenberg forum:
"So no easy way to copy the “final” URL to plan social media posts etc."

Hi @kirilzh

When do you plan to create a PR for this issue?

I ask, as the fix has a potential to be a part of the release of 5.4.1.

Hi @paaljoachim I know it's taking me a while but I'm still figuring some things out. I hope one more week will be sufficient

The same error happens using the Classic Editor plugin in Gutenberg.

1. Create post.
2. Schedule a date in the future.
3. Click Schedule.
4. View Post / Preview post
5. Check the URL. Even though the site uses pretty permalinks it will show a non pretty a number in the url. Such as thisismydomain.com/?p=108

NB. Remember to have the Settings -> Permalinks to show post name or day and name etc. Not the default number.
