Tap actions do not work for sub items if they do not have an entity #337

I want to have a sub item without an entity so that I can show some custom text so I have:

- entity: none
  default: 'Boost'
  tap_action:
    action: navigate
    navigation_path: /lovelace/ev-boost

It looks like you can click on it - but if the entity is set up this way, clicking on it does nothing!

According to docs:

if you define entities as objects, either entity, attribute or icon needs to be specified

and if you define an entity option - it is supposed to have a valid entity_id:

means - your working trick with entity: none is not officially supported.

From my understanding the source code, processing a tap_action here NEEDS an valid defined entity - either THIS entity or a main entity. Since you defined a non-existing entity - tap_action is not processed. Just my guess.
