 Nav menus in the customizer have the benefit of live preview. One of the
 more hidden aspects of this experience is the ability to view a menu
 item's object in the preview with the "original" link in the menu item
 options. Unfortunately, being hidden in the item properties dropdown, this
 feature is little-known.

 Can we add a link for this to the menu item handle somehow? I've create a
 preliminary (fully-functional) patch for this, and while I like the UX I
 think the UI could use work (feels cluttered). This helps to reinforce the
 connection between menus and content, as well as making it easier to see
 what an item is linking to when the current menu isn't shown in the
 preview. It also helps users that may not know that you can navigate links
 within the preview.
