Description

Due to accessibility and UX reasons I want to render actual link elements instead of li elements.

This can currently only achieved by using <Menu.Item> which gives me an error notification, that it is deprecated and items should be used.

But with the items prop it seems to me there's no way to achieve the same. I guess I could abuse the label prop for that matter by making it full size and reconstruct the default layout of said element so it works the same way with the icon and what not.

Ideally, I'd want an option to change the type of the list element that's being rendered.

Research direction

Start with the Menu.Item API and the items prop behavior described in the issue, then trace where the menu's list element is selected. The change is complete when consumers can opt to render an actual link element through items while retaining the standard icon and layout behavior.
