Description
- I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.
Summary 💡
I have not found such design on material design but I think it would be nice to be able to use the mini variant drawer even the menu is nested.
Examples 🌈
GitLab menu provides a good example of such a menu
Discoverable menu on hover in minified form (not doable with current material ui)

Full menu in expanded form (doable with current material ui)

Motivation 🔦
It is rare not to have a nested menu. It would be interesting to be able to navigate an app with a collapsed menu in its mini variant form

Research direction
Start with the mini variant drawer example linked in the issue and compare its current behavior with the GitLab menu examples. Define how nested items should be discovered and navigated while collapsed, while preserving the existing expanded menu behavior; done means the mini variant supports nested menus with the described interaction.
