Description

The about bar links all currently go to https://archive.org/about/* etc

There is no endpoint on the Archive to get just the content of that page, and since its dynamically generated, the gateway cant easily cache it.

Can't use a relative link to a name e.g. dweb:/arc/archive.org/about because those pages aren't CORS so don't appear to be able to access them from javascript and pass to window.open

Research direction

Start by locating the about bar and its link-generation code, then inspect how archive.org/about/* URLs are opened and how the gateway handles dynamically generated pages. The issue does not name files, tests, or a decided implementation, so first establish the expected decentralized link behavior and a concrete completion check around CORS and caching.
