When set to a static page "Edit site" should open the assigned homepage #63784

When Reading Settings > Homepage is set to "A static page", the "edit Site" WordPress admin bar control opens up the template editor of the homepage, not the actual home page that was assigned.

This can be confusing as the template is not usually representative of your actual homepage content.

The only case where this flow works as expected is when a theme has a front-page.html template. If so, you go to the template editor, but your homepage template is your homepage content.

If we did https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/63785, this issue would be resolved as well—as when a page is set to the homepage, it's also set as the homepage at the top-level of the editor.

Yeah, I agree. The current flow is not intuitive.
