Edit relevant config from pipeline error message

Manuel Grabowski requested to merge mg-link-to-relevant-pipeline-editor-20240716 into master

What does this MR do and why?

The 'Go to the pipeline editor' button in case of a pipeline error message links to the default branch currently. With this change the link instead goes to the configuration of the relevant ref, making it easier to start debugging the error right away.

Button was originally added in !111517 (merged)

By using source_ref this should have the desired outcome for all types of pipelines. I manually verified it for branch, MR and merged results pipelines.
