Modify Term List in Custom Taxonomy Meta Box

Question

For the life of me, I can't find the hook for altering the list of terms in a custom taxonomy metabox.

On the post-edit screen, instead of list of custom taxonomy terms like this...

[ ] Bob Dylan

[ ] Bruce Springsteen

...I want this:

[ ] Bob Dylan (link)

[ ] Bruce Springsteen (link)

...where "link" is a link to that term's page.

Thanks!

do you mean in the block editor? or in the old classic editor? — Tom J Nowell, Mar 20 at 23:08
ah in that case it may be helpful to know that it's not a list but a tree, which means there's a walker class being used to display that metabox. If you get that link in there though, there's no guarantee clicking it will do anything other than select/unselect the checkbox though. — Tom J Nowell, Mar 20 at 23:56
The html for it looks pretty straightforward: <li><label class="selectit"><input value="" type="checkbox" name="tax_input[term][]"> Name</label></li> I just need to insert a link in there: <li><label class="selectit"><input value="" type="checkbox" name="tax_input[term][]"> Name</label><a target="_blank" href="/taxonomy/term/">(link)</a></li> As long as it's outside the <label>, it should work fine. — Michael Rexman, Mar 21 at 0:32

For anyone who stumbles across this, I finally found the answer in this previous post:

I wasn't finding it because it's the Walker class, not a hook.
