Suggestion: after each link add a little icon which, when clicked, adds a directly editable inline element containing the link destination. No need to go to the top, no no modal popup dialog which has to separately confirmed... The inline link destination should not require closing to accept, it should just be a part of the text and changes to it are naturally saved together with all other text when the page is being saved.
Changed title by jforrester from "Add inspector accessor icon after each link for easier editing" to "Add inline editing after each link, accessed by hide/unhide icon". The main part of my original proposal is not the accessor icon, but allow editors to optionally see and edit the link destination directly after the link text, without the need to open a modal dialogue box and memorize the link destination afterwards, potentially for multiple links.
This is now not compatible with how the UX has developed; closing.
