Comment (by celloexpressions):

 Replying to [comment:2 nacin]:
 > The problem with this, though, is we're linking to a dashboard page from
 the customizer, which would unexpectedly close the customizer. The link is
 actually *less* useful than not having it at all.
 Twenty Fourteen adds a couple of links to customizer section descriptions,
 so this would be behavior that already exists in new installs by default
 (guessing you aren't aware of that?). I think leaving the customizer like
 this is okay, although it can cause changes to be lost. Alternative
 options would be to open in a new tab (bad for accessibility) or to wait
 until autosaving functionality makes it into the customizer. Or, we could
 add a warning onunload if there are unsaved changes (I believe there's
 history with that approach, but can't remember details).

 Related, considering the concern about linking: #26890.
