+Significance: patch
+Type: changed
+
+Replace link-style `Button` components and bare `<a>` tags with `Link` from `@wordpress/ui` in integrations, the responses modal, and response inspector mailto/tel links. Open Akismet-related URLs in a new tab only in the block editor so the dashboard keeps navigation in the same tab.
