Ability to add custom shortcuts to menu bar

[tomillr]

I'd love to see an option, to manually add some kind of shortcut to the "Tools" section of the left menu bar.

Some of my most used tools, like Duplicati or snapRAID currently don't have a dedicated cockpit plug-in. To make managing those more convenient, a dedicated shortcut named "Duplicati" would link to the tools web-gui at "localhost:8200". The webinterface could open in either a new browser window or as an iframe so that the cockpit main menu remains visible.

For configuration, I'd see the following options:

Field 1: name of link
Field 2: url
Checkbox: open in new window (or open within cockpit)

I wonder if this can be done with a plugin that modifies its manifest.json so it is fixed on refresh

We have #18674 which is related to this.

Yes, the shown mock-up in #18674 looks pretty much like what I'd in mind.

Too bad, the idea was never went anywhere.
