Allow cascade menu on New+ context menu #35974

Description of the new feature / enhancement

HI...

New+ and their template function are amazing, but in some cases it's necessary to categorize these templates. In the current format I use a prefix for each new template category, but if there was a way to create a second level of menu it would help a lot. Example:

Current Format: New+ -- Development - Java -- Development - C -- Development - Python -- Video - Personal -- Video - Social Media -- Video - Marketing

Suggested Format: -- Development ---- Java ---- C ---- Python -- Videos ---- Personal ---- Social Media ---- Marketing

Scenario when this would be used?

In prolonged use of the tool, many templates will be created, and localizing them will end up becoming increasingly time-consuming and difficult.

Really like this idea, and would like to implement that. Unfortunately the built in support for context menu extensions in Windows 11, as far as I know, does not currently support this. If you know of an example or if this changes then I'd really like to add this support.

Thank you for sharing!
