Read More Button

[iamtakashi]

It'd be nice if a "read more" link could be styled like a button.

It might be neat to extend Buttons block to allow it to link to the permalink (if it's in a Query Loop block?) rather than adding all the controls to the read more link in the post excerpt block?

I know this issue is more about buttons than alignment, but since it's regarding the design of the read more link, will it be possible anymore for a "read more" link or button to be inline with the previous paragraph, as it used to be?

A user was asking here:

Their previous posts have the more link inline like this:

They are concerned about changes to formatting as they switch to Blocks.

Just wanted to echo this request. It would come in handy for Query block patterns. For example:

Second this, being able to add a button to link to a post kind of feels like the most bog standard of requirements for MVP with this block.

I had high hopes for the query block in 5.8 but so far it's effectively unusable for me in the current state. Due to this issue and #27620
