🎨 Made pages clickable in analytics Top content

[peterzimon]

Summary

ref https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/NY-1366

Previously only post rows in the Web and Growth tab Top content lists were clickable — clicking a post navigates to its per-post analytics view. Page rows and the homepage row had no link, so there was no quick way to jump from analytics to the live page.

This PR makes those rows clickable. Posts still go to the internal analytics view; pages and the homepage open the live frontend URL in a new tab.

How it works

Server (ghost/core/core/server/services/stats/)

• content-stats-service.js (Web tab) and posts-stats-service.js (Growth tab) now resolve an absolute frontend URL for posts and pages via urlService.getUrlByResourceId(id, {absolute: true}). Result is exposed as a new url field on each row.
• For the homepage attribution row (Growth tab attribution_type='url', path /) and the Web tab homepage row that doesn't match a posts resource, the URL is built from urlUtils.urlFor('home', true).
• getResourceTitle() also retries the opposite trailing-slash form to catch pathnames recorded by Tinybird without a canonical slash.

Client (apps/stats/)

• getClickHandler in url-helpers.ts gained an optional absoluteUrl arg and prefers it over reconstructing from pathname when present.
• Web tab top-content.tsx and Growth tab growth.tsx: clickable gate relaxed — any row with a server-resolved url becomes a link button.

Notes / open questions

• Marked draft because I'd like a second pair of eyes before merging — the URL-resolution paths in the stats services are non-trivial and the test coverage on posts-stats-service.js doesn't run locally (pre-existing beforeAll is not defined issue on main).
• The retry-with-slash logic is a pragmatic fix for Tinybird pathnames that lack canonical slashes. Open to feedback on whether to push that normalization further upstream (e.g. into the Tinybird ingestion pipe).

Test plan

• On the Web traffic tab, switch Top content between Posts & pages / Posts / Pages — confirm post titles still navigate to per-post analytics, and page titles + the Homepage row open the live page in a new tab.
• On the Growth tab, same thing for the Top content table — Homepage and page rows should render as link buttons.
• Confirm rows for tags/authors/system URLs that don't map to a posts row remain non-clickable.
• pnpm --filter ghost test:single test/unit/server/services/stats/content.test.js should pass (25/25).
