Problem/Motivation
In #3025657: Add views area plugin to display a link to another view display within the same view a new display link area plugin was added to views, and in #2981044: Unify the grid/table views of the media library we want to use/change the views display links for the media library view to add some attributes. The only way to currently do that is via hook_link_alter(). Since hook_link_alter() is called for ALL links, this impacts performance in a bad way.
Proposed resolution
Implement a specific hook_views_display_link_alter() to allow modules to change display links.
Use this new hook to add an ID and/or data attributes to the media library display links.
