As I understand it if you are on an admin route and don't set admin to false in link call then the link will be admin prefixed.
so when your on some other route you'd specifically set the respective prefix to false (the others would be assumed false) and this could be overridden so a link in admin dashboard could be displayed to link to manager or editor prefixed URL.
