### Description

Screenshot 2024-07-02 at 14 03 28

I've added a `ui-ink` to the sidebar, and it's not clear that it'll behave differently to the `ui-page` elements in the page navigation.

Whilst not all users will want this, we should at least provide an option to show an "external-link" icon or something to the right of the text to signify this will navigate away from the Dashboard.

Research direction

Start by locating the sidebar rendering for ui-link elements and compare it with the ui-page navigation shown in the issue screenshot. Determine how an optional external-link indicator can be exposed and rendered, then verify that sidebar links visibly distinguish navigation away from the Dashboard without changing the default behavior.
