The Extensible Site Editor Sidebar should support more link types when creating navigation items. This would make Navigation List View a more complete editing surface for common menu-management tasks.
This will also improve the general link creation experience. At the moment, to create a Category from a Navigation Block you need to:
- Click Navigation Block Appender

- Click Navigation Block Appender
- Link Control opens with search focused

I can see how having "Category" or "Page" in the block inspector sidebar is quite helpful, so maybe this is best left alone.
