Problem/Motivation
In #2962525: Create a field widget for the Media library module, the media edit/view link was disabled in the field widget and widget view in order to prevent unintended data loss. Long term, we would still like the ability to quickly edit media items from the field widget, without navigating to a new page.
Proposed resolution
Allow media items to be edited in a modal while using the field widget. The Entity Browser module allows for similar functionality.
This has some major UX and possibly a11y implications, since it needs to be crystal clear to users that, if they edit a media item in the library, they are editing that item everywhere it appears.
