ah too bad, would be nice if it does get added in Craft 4.
Will create a ticket for it if I don't find any similar one. 
Thanks for the reply.

Anyone know if this _was_ added to Craft 4? Been looking at https://verbb.io/craft-plugins/cp-nav/ in meantime

@iamkeir I believe it is now possible in Craft 4, you should be able to ping a URL similar to this: `/admin/entries/yourSection&status=pending`. You may still need the CP Nav plugin to create an actual link for it.

<p>As the question states, I want to create a link that sends a user to the entries page only showing the pending entries.</p>
<p>I tried using the cpUrl function but can't seem to get it directly to the pending entries status, just the entries page.</p>

<control-panel><url>
Is it possible to create a link to the cp that shows all pending entries of a section?

This is now possible in Craft 4. More specifically, it's now possible to ping a URL similar to this one...
/admin/entries/yourSection&status=pending

Depending on where you want the link, you may still need a tool to add a link in the Control Panel. As pointed out by @username_2 in the comments, the CP Nav plugin is a good choice for adding a link to the main CP navigation.
