This is pretty minor, but I provide users a series of published pages as part of a site guide at [https://connect.oeglobal.org/pub/connect-guide](https://connect.oeglobal.org/pub/connect-guide). I rarely edit them, but find it is not always easy to find the original topic to edit. It is in the source as a canonical link.

It would be nice for an admin to see a link somewhere to get to the edit view, or at least the topic view.

Until then I build a simple browser bookmarklet that looks for a canonical link, if it finds one offers a confirm dialog to go to view it.

```plaintext
javascript:c=document.querySelector("link[rel='canonical']");if(!c) { alert('No canonical link found.') } else { if (confirm("Visit canonical link " + c.href +" ?")) window.location=c.href};

```
