Link editor: Show full URL in picker

[richardmtl]

What problem does this address?

I have several URLs that start the same on my site.

I'm looking for one in particular, but how do I know which one to pick between the 3 different /metro/metro-line... options? Trial and error is my only choice at this point.

What is your proposed solution?

At the very least, I'd like to see the full URL if I hover over it. Another possible solution is to expand the box to show the full URL no matter how long it is (you can impose a width limit and have it word-wrap, maybe?).

I agree. This needs to have a tooltip while hovering the URL. At first sight, this could be implemented by adding a title attribute to the element containing the URL:

gutenberg/packages/block-editor/src/components/link-control/search-item.js

Line 46 in 3da717b

<span

I'm not sure about the accessibility best practices on this, so some feedback on that is welcome.

related #21100 ; perhaps could adopt some logic from this.

This should no longer be an Issue as it was fixed in #33753
