[FSE] Update "Customize" link from Appearance > Theme page for block themes

[annezazu]

What problem does this address?

Currently, the customizer shouldn't be accessible when using a block theme. However, if you head to Appearance > Themes > Hover over current theme and you'll see the option to select "Customize" which will open the customizer:

What is your proposed solution?

I think this should be updated to link to the Site Editor itself or the most appropriate section if it's a hybrid/universal theme.

cc @kjellr @carolinan in case this might actually be a TT1 blocks/theme specific issue!

Not a TT1 issue, I can confirm this applies to all block-based themes.
I haven't looked at it, but maybe some things are just easier done in WP-Core instead of running in circles with filters from the plugin 😆

We need to update the big blue button here as well – it could link to Appearance > Editor when a block theme is active.

Yeah probably best to move this issue to Trac and fix it directly in Core.

I expanded more about it in #36578, but it's not just updating the big blue button, it's about revising the welcome guide in the context of what the new features are — blocks, patterns, styles. Several of the side links could be modified as well (like menus).

[jameskoster]

Oh I agree we should do all of that. But atm the the button(s) feel like a bug when you have a block theme active, and so perhaps warrant a dedicated effort?

Thanks @jameskoster. Closing in favour of https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54460. Let's continue discussion there.
