The problem is that without a menu item you dont know what the link would be. It could be example.com/my_article or it could be example.com/my_category/my_article or event example.com/main_menu_item/sub_menu_item/sub_sub_menu_item/my_article

Joomla can generate canonical links. put here cannonical link for "copy & paste" for editors (of course after save article)

It still would not know what is the correct link to make the canonical

@chrisdavenport i mean link no for article editing!!!!

i mean - copy link and put in on social media - Facebook, Twitter. Share link from admin panel, without visit site and copy links from frontend.

@brianteeman you probably do not understand what I meant.

I understand perfectly what you mean - the problem is that you dont
understand how joomla works or you would see it is not possible

Joomla not user-friendly cms. many obstacles to the realization of simple things.

It is not something simple. But if you think it is then please submit code
so that it can be reviewed and if found to be correct then it can be merged

Thanks for your suggestion to improve Joomla @sanek4life It would indeed be nice to have a link to the article in the back-end.

However, as @brianteeman tried to explain, there's no way to determine a SEF link to the article without a menu item pointing to that article.

As @chrisdavenport mentioned, Joomla participates with the Google Summer of Code.

One project "Create Menu Item From Article or Other Component" https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#4954100093419520 will add an option to add a menu item from the article edit view. Only then, when such a menu link to an article has been created, the Search Engine Friendly URL will be known...

I've created PR #10282 as proof of concept to add a link to the article in the Articles: Edit.

@sanek4life Could you please test the patch?
