Pattern block: "Manage Patterns" to open the Library > Custom patterns

[richtabor]

If supported, instead of navigating to /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wp_block, it would be nice if this control opened the new Library within /wp-admin/site-editor.php?path=%2Flibrary.

Perhaps "Open Library"?

I could go with either "Manage patterns" or "Open library", though would be good to check the capitalization. It should be sentence case but I think there are some cases around proper nouns.

Let's roll with "Open library".

Just noting here that we're likely renaming "Library" to "Patterns", so perhaps we stick with "Manage patterns" after all. (#52042)

Works for me; we just need to fix the capitalization then (alongside the change in path).

This issue reminds me of https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54908, which got fixed by removing the edit.php screen altogether for templates and template parts. Perhaps the same treatment could be considered for reusable blocks now. While reusable blocks have long been available through edit.php and removing it would upset some users, it should also be noted that the screen does not include "unsynced" patterns and would cause some associated confusion. A similar issue was reported with #35994 and abandoned because it was too hard to fix.

I have an alternate solution up in #52403 which will allow us to conditionally direct users to where most appropriate for the time being.

We can explore the removal of the edit.php screen if desired after 6.3. That would afford us some additional time to communicate well to the users that might be negatively impacted by the change.
