Steps to reproduce the issue

You need an installation with at least one module.
Enable the editing of modules and menus (Backend - global configuration).
Login as super user to the frontend.

All items (aticles, menuitems) now can be edited from here.

Expected result

An edit icon near the item, no popvers.

Actual result

Edit is possible via a bootstap popover, which appears on hovering the item.

For reference the popover link is for the menu edits

@brianteeman In J4 we did not want popvers any more, or am I wrong?

@brianteeman do you have an idea what could be a solution?

Adding the edit link next to each item might be a bit overwhelming but it's what I think could work best in this situation. I actually think the popover is redundant in any case...

Maybe we could add an "Edit links" button next to the edit module button that enables those edit links...

I tried visble Edit Buttons.

it is overwhelming in big menus
The edit buttons are rather small, on smaller devices and touch screens it is hard to click it.
With a new line for the edit icon, the menus become too big

I imagine an accordion or two tabs if a user may edit menu Items.
The one is for normal use
the other has links to the menuItem edit screen instead of link.

This could be made accessible.

How about something like the following which would be permanently displayed to the appropriate user and not just on hover.
