Description

Description

Right now, the only way to set an icon for a menu is to set icon property and that only sets the classname. Currently, It's not possible to provide a custom html template for it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current icon implementation for menus in Theia's source code, specifically how the `icon` property is used. Propose an extension that allows custom HTML templates, referencing existing patterns for template rendering.
