Description

I would like to create two menubars, but in one of them disable the defaultClickEvent. So you could have two different windows on the same tray.

Is there an option to do that?

Thank you very much for the project, it is very useful

Research direction

Start by inspecting the menubar API and its Electron tray and window handling to determine how multiple menubar instances currently share behavior. Check how defaultClickEvent is configured and identify what would need to differ between instances. Done means two menubars can coexist in one tray while allowing defaultClickEvent to be disabled independently.
