Description of the Change

This PR updates the link for the original Post, that appears in the editor when the user is editing a pulled Post.
With the current behavior the link opens the original Post in the same window (or browser tab). With the change I made, the link opens the original Post in a new window.

Closes #1271

@gustavo-p-rossler thanks for the PR on this, in order to make it more clear that it'll open in a new tab could you add the https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/#external icon as part of that link (usually after the text with a space between the text and icon)?

Hi @jeffpaul, I've updated the PR adding the external icon as you can see in the screenshot bellow:

@gustavo-p-rossler Thanks for the pull request.

This tests well in the Gutenberg/Block editor but will need an equivalent change for the classic editor interface to add the icon and the targetting.

The code for the classic editor can be found in this block of code:

distributor/includes/syndicated-post-ui.php

Lines 496 to 504 in ff477ee

	<span><a href="<?php echo esc_url( $original_post_url ); ?>">
	<?php
	printf(
	/* translators: 1) Distributor post type singular name. */
	esc_html__( 'View the origin %1$s.', 'distributor' ),
	esc_html( strtolower( $post_type_singular ) )
	);
	?>
	</a></span>

@peterwilsoncc I have added the equivalent change for the classic editor in 7a881cb

Thanks Gustavo, this looks good to me and tests well.

I've taken the liberty of pushing some code to add dashicons as a dependency to the edited CSS files. This will ensure the file is enqueued and the font available.

I missed the need for the dependency change on my earlier review and decided to push the change so I could get this merged more quickly.
