Description

# Summary

Currently, I can get to:
> SyncError
> Failed sync attempt to ...: one or more objects failed to apply

That's not helpful.
The useful information is in a very long log not reachable from Errors, but from Sync Status.

Ideally, the SyncError should link to a view that shows the relevant errors in sync status #4235

# Motivation

Get from generic unhelpful error to actionable information in order to fix problem.

# Proposal

Provide a link

Research direction

The issue names the Errors and Sync Status views and points to issue #4235, but no files or tests. Start by tracing how SyncError is rendered in Errors and how relevant errors are exposed in Sync Status. Done means the generic SyncError links to the actionable sync-status error view.
