# Post Editor Window

 * Hello,
    I’m new to WordPress Plugin development. I’d like to achieve the following:
 * To create a clickable button anywhere on the admin dashboard. Most importantly,
   when the button is clicked it will open a specified post (P) in the default post
   editor. That is, the same post editor as though the admin user had viewed the
   Posts list, and clicked the edit option for (P).
 * Any help would be appreciated

 * Each time you edit a post, there is a known URL for that. So you can make your
   button be a link to that URL.
    Putting that _anywhere_ on the dashboard might
   be a problem in PHP, but you could do it with Javascript.
