Description
I am creating a custom tool that places a "warp object" (custom object with custom properties). I do have different types of warps, but having all those different tools in the toolbar is kinda cramped. I think it would be nice if a tool could function as a dropdown... or there was a ToolSection-Object which would then display collapsed and the user could press the tool to get the actual selection of nested tools to choose from.

Research direction
The issue names the scripting API and toolbar tool selection as the entry points; start by tracing how custom tools are registered and rendered in the toolbar. Done means a custom tool can expose nested tools and the toolbar presents them in a collapsed dropdown without requiring every variant to occupy its own slot.
