Description
It woud be nice to have a global menu bar at the top of the screen that could show the application menus, as is shown here:
I have collected available "documentation" (or lack thereof) on global menus, but so far I have not had a chance to write a section about how this is supposed to work on Wayland, because, well, I couldn't figure it out yet. But KDE Plasma can do it on Wayland already, and other Wayland based panels are considering it.

Research direction
Start with the linked global-menu documentation and the Waybar and Louvre discussions to understand the Wayland approach. The issue names no repository files or tests, so first determine the required protocol and integration design. Done means a global menu bar appears at the top of the screen and can show application menus.
