Provide GUI access to dirindex URL. Crafting a wget or curl command as per https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.5/api/native-api.html#view-dataset-files-and-folders-as-a-directory-index is complicated. It would be nice if there were a shortcut, using the DOI (not the ID) so that a user can graphically browse to the page, verify they want this data, and then craft a wget command to access the data.
Perhaps the browser view into dirindex can be an option under the Access Dataset dropdown menu?
There could be a Directory Index option under Explore Options.

Research direction
Read related issues #7084 and #7823 and the Dataverse native API directory-index documentation first; then trace the dataset GUI's Access Dataset and Explore Options entry points. Done means a GUI Directory Index link uses the dataset DOI and opens the directory index for browsing before download commands are crafted.
