Dear Discourse community,

I’m trying to add a small section in the user dropdown menu, and have been unsuccessful so far. I know that I can add items to the hamburger-menu through the `decorateWidget` function. However, it doesn’t look like the user-menu has a way to hook into it. Since the items I want to add are user-related, I would like to be able to add these links there and not in the hamburger-menu.

I have tried adding it in a plugin initialiser and simply add some DOM nodes, but the user-menu isn’t generated yet in the DOM before the user icon has been clicked.

Does anyone have any idea what the most graceful way of doing this is?

Kind regards,  
Arjen
