Description
Similar to https://github.com/openui/open-ui/issues/921 but more to discuss if we should even be Prefetching the sidebar links?
Prefetch should be used where a navigation is likely. For example we should prefetch the View Proposal / View Research links on respective pages. But Prefetching all sidebar links feels like a waste of network hops (especially when it's doubled up see above linked issue) when it's unlikely people will visit all of them.

Research direction
Review the sidebar prefetch behavior and the related Open UI issue #921, which are the only entry points identified here. Done would require a settled decision on whether all sidebar links should be prefetched and, if so, a clearly defined scope for the change.
