DashLinx – Admin Dashboard Links Widget

DashLinx adds a simple, unobtrusive widget to the WordPress admin dashboard that allows administrators to store up to five frequently used links for quick access.

Links can be added by:
* Selecting existing Pages, Posts, or any public post type via autocomplete
* Pasting a full URL (external or internal)

When a raw URL is added, DashLinx attempts to retrieve the page title automatically.

Key Features

• Admin dashboard widget
• Supports Pages, Posts, and all public post types
• External URLs supported
• Automatic title detection for pasted URLs
• Links can be deleted (editing is intentionally disabled)
• Admin links open in the same tab
• Frontend and external links open in a new tab
• Accessible and WordPress-native UI (Dashicons, jQuery UI)

DashLinx is designed to be fast, minimal, and dependency-free, using only tools already bundled with WordPress core.
