Custom views in existing navigation groups

[siimsams]

Hey!

I would like to have custom views show up in the default menus if configured. Currently it's impossible to do that and they can only be added as after nav links.

I would add similar admin type to the config and this would enable it.

views: {
  createOrder: {
    path: '/orders/create-order',
    Component: '@/features/orders/components/create-order',
    meta: {
      title: 'Create Order',
      description: 'Create a new order',
    },
    admin: {
      group: 'Orders',
    },
  },
}

Possibly also the access should be added to this config to be able to hide links based on the access rights.

I did a quick and dirty solution in my project and I could polish it and create a PR for it. I would do this as a non breaking change if possible so It could be released in V3.

What do you think? Would this be something worth implementing?

There is also a bug with the current implementation. It does not remember the collapsed state of the menu in the custom views. I'll implement this aswell.

I'm working on it. Today I got the elements showing. It's still a WIP so I'll clean it up and write more info about it.

If you happen to have input on how this should work then LMK. I'll finalize this at the end of this week and get it ready for PR.
