Description

One thing recent rounds of FSE testing has surfaced, is that when you create a navigation menu and start empty, people seem to very commonly be choosing the "Link" block to insert their navigation links, when in nearly all cases the "Page Link" block would've been a better choice, actually suggesting pages on your site to link to.

This PR renames "Link" to "Custom Link", to de-emphasize it. Before:

Makes sense. This is how it was done in the customiser as well if I remember correctly.

Thank you for the review!

Turns out there was a legitimate test failure, and in trying to fix it (see 8f8b436), I touched code that @gwwar tinkered with just a few weeks ago. Because that specific test was sensitive, I've converted this PR to a draft until she has a chance to look and see if I fixed it right.

🤔 The current link search allows us to insert all types if we search for it (post, page, category, etc), did we want to limit it to an arbitrary title/url combo?

packages/e2e-tests/specs/experiments/blocks/navigation.test.js also needs to be updated similar to the navigation-editor e2e test.
packages/block-library/src/navigation-link/test/hooks.js needs updated snapshots.

eg npm run test-unit packages/block-library/src/navigation-link/test/hooks.js --update-snapshot

Let me know if you run into trouble with this.

Agreed on the intent behind this and switching to Custom Link. Great thinking! Can't speak to the code so will leave that to others ;) Appreciate you jumping in on improving this so rapidly.

Thanks for that clarification! Maybe? #30170 was created to outline some of the confusion around the different types of blocks you can insert, and the fact that it all sort of blends together is part of the problem. However in absence of more obvious transformation tools, it's probably not a good time to make such a change. But it might be in the future.

Thanks a bunch for the test pointeres. I've udpated!

Question: should the newfangled responsive toggle default to on?

Welp, I commented on the wrong PR. I meant to comment on #30047
