Navigation links: add the link target settings to the block inspector #59994

Description

While editiing navigation links and submenus I noticed the 'link target' setting is only available in the link editing UI popover, while it is absent in the block inspector.

As a user, this is confusing to me. I would expect the block inspector settings panel to let me access all settings ot a block.

For consistency, I'd suggest to add it to the 'Advanced' section of the block inspector.

  • In the settings panel, expand the 'Advanced' section.
  • Click 'Link' in the block toolbar and then click the 'Edit link' pencil icon button to open the link editing UI popover.
  • Observe the open popover and observe the open Settings panel.
  • Onserve the link target setting is only available in the popover.
