What do you think about pushing this into the embeddable? Accessing embeddable urls will be useful in many other places. There actually is already an embeddable.metadata.editUrl I think, but it lacks the query parameters. Kind of like how I suggest doing in here: #25247. But rather than an API service, just put it in the embeddable layer, and then later, if we want to use an API service, we can replace it there.

class VisualizeEmbeddable {

public generateAccessLink({ containerState }) {
  const id = linkData.id;
  const appState = `(filters:!(${containerState.filters})`;
  const globalState = `(${containerState.globalTime})`;
  // Use a url service to ensure everything is escaped properly
  const url = url.parse({
    path: `kibana`,
    hash: `#visualizations/edit/${id}`,
    queryParameters: {
      '_g': globalState,
      '_a': appState,
    }
  })
  return url.toString();
}
}

I think if you use a url service, you will get the encoding for free, that's why I used url to take the string pieces into a url, then back into string again. https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_url_parse_urlstring_parsequerystring_slashesdenotehost

You will have access to Private in that class as well to grab the state object so this class can probably not be concerned about it.

don't want this here, since not all embeddables will have a savedVisualization. Saved Search has savedSearch object.

We could store the embeddable type on the embeddable, the one that the Factory is registered under, and do something like embeddable.type == 'visualization' to check. I don't love that idea though... what if another plugin author wants to create an embeddable and it supplies a generateAccessUrl function, so it wants to take advantage of the reporting system? We should be able to handle that, without Reporting needing to know about it. But then we also don't really want the embeddable layer to know about the plugin reporting, so I also don't really want to expose on the embeddable something like canGenerateReport.

So I have put some thought into this, about using another registry where embeddables can say "I support this action" . Let's sync on this later, I'll share some of my docs/thoughts and get your input on it.

This shouldn't work, the url for saved searches I think is discover/edit .

Tests should probably be added as part of this PR too, so if the url format changes, the ci will fail.

Suggested change
* Generates an access URL that will be used in creating a PNG report.
* Generates an access URL that can be used to open up the saved search directly in the Discover App, with the settings applied from the given containerState.

Don't mention PNG report in here, this is on the base embeddable layer now, reporting just happens to use it, but it's not really here specifically for reporting (I think it will be useful in other scenarios as well).

I'm not entirely sure this will work in a build, because of how x-pack gets relocated as a plugin
