Description

We have a settings Menu + Submenu in case of Notebook files. I was looking for some similar submenu page for some particular extension types but this doesn't seem to be straight-forward like other API's. There is very minimal information about this in Docs as well. Having a dedicated sample will help ease the usage of this feature.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Notebook settings Menu and Submenu example and the current extension API documentation for editor menus. Create a dedicated sample showing submenus for particular extension types; done means the sample clearly demonstrates this usage and fills the documented gap.
