just one comment about applicability for you
if we want to hack in visibility of this info from the "kibana settings" area, we could follow up with a crosslink from the sidebar of the cloud-account section + a landing page link
... realizing now that we missed high-contrast mode and interface language links from the landing page of that section too
Intentionally left those considerations out because to me it should be part of the work related to kibana preferences/personal settings But I hear you and I agree As said in the comments, I'll return this to draft while the eng team figures out availability because the current state is not intentional from my initial investigations |

A direct link continues to open the linked {{kib}} app or object instead of redirecting you to the remembered space. | ||

what I could test doesn't even strictly match this (ECH with 9.5 opened the default space regardless) - to confirm
