 I've recently attempted to use add_filter('admin_url','filter_function'),
 only to discover that there are many URLs in the admin area that are not
 passed through the admin_url() function. While there may be a good reason
 for that to happen, I figured it wouldn't hurt to check the possibility of
 changing one of them.

 The one URL I haven't been able to find a workaround to is the "Add New
 [Post Type]" button on the edit.php screen, on top the post table, which
 also appears when editing an existing post. From what I gather, it is
 generated in the following file/line
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/edit.php#L189] for
 the first case, and on this one
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/edit-form-
 advanced.php#L198] for the second case.

 Fixing this, assuming it's possible without compromising a functionality
 I'm not aware of, would be as simple as replacing this:

 {{{
 <a href="<?php echo $post_new_file ?>" ...
 }}}

 And this:

 {{{
 <a href="<?php echo esc_url( $post_new_file ) ?>" ...
 }}}

 With this:

 {{{
 <a href="<?php echo admin_url($post_new_file); ?>" ...
 }}}

 And this:

 {{{
 <a href="<?php echo esc_url( admin_url($post_new_file) ) ?>" ...
 }}}
