Summary of Changes
For issue #26322 a partial solution was already merged ##27843.
This PR resolves the problem (missing title attributes) also for actionlog messages.
Testing Instructions
On your dashboard or in the actionlogs inspect messages or hover the links in the message.
Check different types of messages which contain different links.
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
No title attributes. A message looks like
User <a href=".../index.php?option=com_users&task=user.edit&id=15">chmst</a>
added new menu item <a href="../administrator/index.php?option=com_menus&task=item.edit&id=139">
Change Password (en-GB)</a>
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
All links have a title attribute.
User <a href="../administrator/index.php?option=com_users&task=user.edit&id=15" title="Edit User chmst">chmst</a>
added new menu item <a href="../administrator/index.php?option=com_menus&task=item.edit&id=139" title="Edit menu item Change Password (en-GB)">Change Password (en-GB)</a>

I have tested this item ✅ successfully on e9d0bb8
I verified the fix against the specific language keys modified in this PR (e.g., PLG_SYSTEM_ACTIONLOGS_CONTENT_ADDED, _UPDATED, etc.).
Before:
<a href=".../index.php?option=com_users&task=user.edit&id=147">krishnagandhi</a>
After:
The title attribute is correctly generated for these actions -><a href=".../index.php?option=com_users&task=user.edit&id=147" title="edit user krishnagandhi">krishnagandhi</a>
I noticed that other action types (like extension installations) use different language keys and are understandably unchanged by this specific patch. Should we open another PR to address those and complete the coverage?

Thank you for testing - I had forgotten to commit the other changes.
But make a new PR yourself, have fun!

The task is user.edit and as a super user I can edit.
Do we really want that the user can be changed here? But this is not in scope of this PR.
plus iirc user action log is restricted to super users
BUT I tend to agree that EDIT is possibly the wrong word and that SHOW is better. I want to read the user details and the only way to do that is with the task edit
The issue was labelled as feature - can also go into 6.1 or later, but continues a former already merged PR
@chmst According to https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms?tab=readme-ov-file#which-branch-should-my-pull-request-target this PR should indeed be moved to 6.1-dev. There is nothing really broken without this PR.
Shall I rebase it for you, or will you do that?
accessibility errors are bugs

I've rebased to 6.1, the language strings will be enhanced there. The conflicts should be resolved, when 6.1 has the upmerge done.

@chmst @bembelimen I've allowed myself to fix the conflicts. PR should be ok for 6.1-dev now.
I will restore @krishnagandhicode 's test result in the issue tracker as it is still valid. The conflicts were unrelated to the changes in this PR, so it can be considered a clean branch update.

I think Edit is good, because it actually opens the edit form.
