Create Clip From VOD Response Link

I was testing out the Beta create clip with VOD endpoint:

I understand that this is a beta endpoint. I noticed that the response is described as

“A URL you can use to edit the clip’s title, feature the clip, create a portrait version of the clip, download the clip media, and share the clip directly to third-party platforms.“

On clicking this URL I would expect to see the clip editing screen, meaning the one that lets me select portrait vs landscape, a draggable timeline to select the exact length and offsets, etc. Instead, this link seems to just take me to the clip’s page where I have the option to open that dialog.

As someone considering this as part of a future feature, that feels like a bit of disconnect. The response property is named “edit_url”, suggesting I could send users there so they could directly edit their clips. But they’re required to do some additional navigation.

It may come across as a nitpick, but mentally planning around the property name in the docs and then finding out my users will need a few more clicks is a little rough.
