getLivePreviewUrl()

Like getCpEditUrl(), it would be cool to be able to directly access the Live Preview dialogue directly from a link.
I called this getLivePreviewUrl() which is currently impossible, as Live Preview is called by JS from the edit view.

This would be a great addition for casual users, as this is one of the most user friendly parts of the cp.
We could then add the getLivePreviewUrl() link to the frontend for logged in users, and they would directly land in this view.

I just added a new preview/<elementId> control panel route for Craft 5.6, which renders a standalone Live Preview editor for an element (#16441).

You can render links to it like so:

{% if canSave(entry) %}
  <a href="{{ cpUrl("preview/#{entry.id}") }}">Edit this entry</a>
{% endif %}
