Description: 

From 11.4.0 the string formatter (available on most string fields) can now also link to an entity's edit form.

If the entity has an edit form and a canonical link, site builders can choose which link relation to link to

A screenshot of the string formatter configuration form showing the option to select linking to either the entity or its edit form

If you alter this form and you are not seeing your options, ensure you add

$form['link_rel']['#access'] = count($form['link_rel']['#options']) > 1;

after setting them.
