Navigation block: Add buttons block to the allowed blocks

[briceduclos]

What problem does this address?

The navigation block currently supports menu items (page, post, custom, tag, category, ...) links, Social Icons, Spacer, and Search blocks (#33278).

However, it’s currently not possible to add a button block while it’s a common feature to have a button inside the site’s header.

What is your proposed solution?

Allow the Buttons block inside the navigation block.

I would love to have option to add a button on the navigation block to.

A big vote from me to allow a Buttons block as a child of the Navigation block. I just noticed this fairly common header/navigation pattern isn't currently possible:

This issue needs traction.. At the minimum we should be able to apply classes to the anchor tag. Then you could at least manually style as a button, the Link Advanced CSS Class could be set to wp-block-button and a new Anchor CSS Class field could then be set to wp-block-button__link has-primary-background-color has-background. But it's much harder to do at the moment.
