YouTube popup menu containing multiple nested select menus

I find this UI pattern very powerful and practical for users that are either using touch, mouse or keyboard. It would be great if Open UI could facilitate the creation of such an UI.

These would likely be better represented as menu > menuitem / menuietemcheckbox / menuitemradio patterns.

maybe resurrecting the <menuitem> element for use within <selectmenu> would be something to consider.

+1 to @scottaohara's comment. These look like they should be implemented as menus to me (and I've worked on very similar video player UI that used menus, not combobox/listbox semantics).

Even if we end up using menu semantics as the <selectmenu> popup, I think I'd still lean towards full menu semantics for this, since in my opinion the triggering elements should also be menuitems.

If you could call this a selectmenu, it would be a multiple select at the very least since there are multiple different sets of options to choose one (or more?) from. I'm going to move the label to select-v2, I don't think that this is a use case that we are supporting in v1

agreed. this is not what the current select menu should be covering. these arent options, they're menuitems.

closing this issue as it is not an appropriate use case for select / selectmenu.

These would be better communicated as menu > menuitem(checkbox/radio - as appropriate).

If someone would like to open a new issue for creating a native "menu" element (unfortunately cannot be named menu) then, please do that.

In the meantime, someone could instead use popover to create their custom menus.
