-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 Currently, when editing a taxonomy term (e.g., a category), the edit
 screen does not provide a link to view the term archive page on the front
 end, even if the term is publicly viewable. Users must return to the term
 list screen to access the "View" action from the row actions.

 This is inconsistent with other content types (e.g., posts and pages),
 where a "View" link is prominently available on the edit screen.

 === Steps to reproduce: ===
 1. Navigate to **Posts > Categories**.
 2. Add a category.
 3. On the category list page, observe the "**View**" link available in the
 row actions.
 4. Click on the category name to open the **Edit Category** screen.
 5. Notice that there is no "**View**" link to access the category archive
 page.

 === Expected behavior: ===
 A "View" link should be displayed on the edit screen for publicly viewable
 terms (such as categories and tags), similar to how it appears for posts
 and pages.

 === Use case: ===
 Improves the admin user experience by allowing quick access to the front-
 end view of a term archive without requiring navigation back to the term
 listing page.
