[#26322] - [4.0] Edit links in dashboard modules title missing, Edit links in management views Subject missing

On the home page of the backend there are several modules that display information.
- Logged in User
- Popular Articles
- User actions (with edit user and edit plugin, etc. links)
- Recently Added Articles
- ...
In these modules the link is missing a title attribute, which describes to the user where the link is leading to. In the manage overviews there is a title attribute on the links, which is only called e.g. "edit test". I think it would be better if the text would display: "Edit Article with the title: test". / "Edit Plugin with the title: Content - Joomla"

We're talking about two different things. I also say here that the title is completely missing. If it is intended and you can prove it for a better a11y, we must also remove it from the manage overviews.
I think it would be better if the text would display: "Edit Article with the title: test". / "Edit Plugin with the title: Content - Joomla"
Dont you think that this is overly verbose?
I believe the thinking behind the current text was that it "made sense" in the context of the row. I appreciate that it makes less sense in the context of a list of links that a screen reader might generate

Can we close this as there is a merged PR or is it still open because of action logs? If action logs, can someone tell me what needs to be done there exactly?
This issue should be closed now ?

Sorry that's not correct and a common misconception
