Comment (by joedolson):

 I'm uncertain whether this is really necessary, or whether we'd just be
 creating additional noise on the page. These links are not duplicates on
 any given screen, so the existing text is unique for that screen. I think
 it's reasonable to assume that somebody should know their current post
 type context when using those links.

 While adding context can be very valuable, for confirmation, I'm not sure
 it's necessary in this case. Considering a normal workflow, I can see only
 one likely path to reach these links.

 The use case I see is that the user has activated a link such as 'All
 Posts' from the left menu, landed on the page, and selected "Published".
 They've intentionally gone to the "All Posts" page, so should be expecting
 posts.

 If there's another context that may be relevant, let me know. I could
 certainly be overlooking something.

 This is kind of an overarching question for the entire admin: when is
 there enough context already? Should we assume that users with screen
 readers never know their current context, and need confirmation at all
 stages?
