fix(next): active nav item not clickable in edit view (#11457)

This fixes an issue where the active collection nav item was
non-clickable inside documents. Now, it remains clickable when viewing a
document, allowing users to return to the list view from the nav items
in the sidebar.

The active state indicator still appears in both cases.
