It was long time since I worked on Discourse theme and the last time i did plugin API (v0.8) enabled [setting the default quick access tab to be set like this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/show-username-menu-instead-of-notification-menu-in-user-menu/146838):

```js
 api.reopenWidget("user-menu", {
    defaultState() {
      return {
        currentQuickAccess: "profile",
      };
    }
  });

```

How to do that in the new UserMenu component? Or is it even possible? I know a lot has changed.
