Individual post stats link in the toolbar

[metmarkosaric]

"have y’all considered putting a link to a page’s given analytics to the toolbar in your WordPress plugin? I think it would make the plugin much more useful to many WordPress folks. I find myself looking at individual posts’ stats so it’s quite a workflow to get there."

Original asker here. As some context this would simply allow easier access to analytics, in particular if filtered to an individual post or page that may otherwise be difficult to find if they're not on the first page of the analytics screen.

The easier way around here would be we introduce a quick actions in admin toolbar where if user is editing a specific page or viewing a specific page then there will be a link which will redirect (open in a new tab) to analytics of that specific page as per the suggestion by @ChrisWiegman with minor tweak. Currently, we can't filter that within the analytics we are showing under Dashboard > Analytics as it is an embedded iframe.

So, the potential admin toolbar improvement might look like:

1. View Analytics
2. View Page Analytics (only visible if on a specific page/post)
3. Settings

that looks nice @mehul0810!

That would be perfect and would make many metrics far more usable to site owners.
