Feature request: Link the "Draft" status indicator to the sharing URL

[Scotchester]

Current behavior

The "Draft" status indicator links to nothing

Desired behavior

The "Draft" status indicator would link to a page's sharing URL, so that people on an editing screen could click directly to the shared page, instead of having to go up a level to access that page's "More" menu to use the "View sharing link" option.

@Scotchester thanks for the suggestion. I agree that it's a bit of a pain to have to go up a level to get to the link.

How would you propose to handle pages that are in "Live + Draft" state?

In Wagtail these work the same way that "Live" pages do -- linking to the page's URL. I don't quite like the inconsistency of having "Draft" link to a shared link but "Live + Draft" linking to the live link.

Here's the Wagtail code that implements that button. One (possibly hacky) option would be to implement two side-by-side buttons in the "Live + Draft" state, each one linking to the respective page version.

I love the idea of hacking it into two separate buttons, but I know we're trying to do less hacking :)
