I would like to add a link to `/admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-personas` to make it easier for a novice admin be able to find the place to edit AI personas (and maybe me too). The `/admin` link in that menu is visible only to admins, but when I add `/admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-personas` it’s visible to all users.

If that’s not a bug, is there some other way to add those links?

On a related note, for a Dicourse novice, it’s pretty complicated to figure out how to get there. For example, when trying to get to the AI configuration settings, the user ended up at `https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-plugin/259214` (by clicking the inviting blue link on the left rather than the apparently invisible AI link in the sub-menu above. 😿
