How to set an icon for a group in a popup menuPath

[fmagin]

I can create a nested menu in the Popup Menu via .popupMenuPath(new String[] { "Top Level Group Name", "Actual Action Name" }) via the ActionBuilder but is there some way to set an icon for that "Top Level Group Name" entry?

I don't think we support that concept. I believe icons are only for the actual menu action in our system.

Is there a strong reason against supporting that as a feature? Or just implementation effort that was not justified?
My use case is that I'm writing a plugin for integration with a 3rd party analysis service, that will include a handful of context actions and I don't want to clutter the top level context menu with all of them, but in a group I then can't use the icon of that 3rd party service as an obvious visual cue on the top level

We have never had a need to do this before. At this point, to add the functionality would require new methods on the builder and menu data interfaces, along with the code that would use the icon values specified. There also may be some weirdness to deal with relating to ensuring that different actions all use the same icon when sharing a parent group.

I think using an icon is a fine idea, but we have always just used text for the parent group.
