Select Linked mesh -dedicated selection mode
select Linked in edit mode by clicking L is very very useful.
To make it more accessible and consistent with other places in blender editors, like- Uv editor & geoNodes (blender 3.1)
i think that a dedicated UI button in edit mode + changing the name in select menu, to 'Select Mesh Island' like in GeoNodes (blender 3.1) and similar of how UI islands are treated.
those changes will make thing more cohesive.
as a teacher who use blender to interduce 3d to students this will make life so better. thanks

I think hotkey should be changed from L to 4 too for discoverability, uv island works like that already. I'm not sure about official terminology though, I've seen "mesh element" more than "mesh island".
I asked for this 3 years ago blender.community/c/rightclickselect/g4bbbc/
U actually did already 🤔 let's hope that with the resources that developers have today it's going to happen 🤞

U can map 'select linked by normal' to any hotkey you like ..
