 The View Transitions plugin as part of Performance Lab includes a feature
 to enable cross-document view transitions in the WP Admin. This improves
 the user experience of navigating around the admin, by making it feel more
 like a single-page app without the added implementation complexity (and
 backwards-compatibility breaks). This is part of the new coat of paint
 being worked on for the WP Admin in  #64308.

 View Transitions in the admin was first implemented in the plugin via
 https://github.com/WordPress/performance/pull/2038

 This is also related to enabling bfcache for instant back/forward
 navigation (#63636). To further improve the fluidity of navigating the WP
 Admin, [https://github.com/westonruter/speculative-loading-admin/
 speculative loading of admin menu items] may make sense.

 This was discussed in the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2025/12/24

 year-end chat].
