I took a look at Discourse’s sidebar code and @manuel [icons addition](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-hamburger-menu-links/87644/59). It seems that currently, it’s not possible to customize the icon’s custom links because the hamburger menu decoration method doesn’t take into account the `prefixValue` constant (which contains the icon’s name) or something like that… It also seems to me that hamburger-menu decorations with `api.decorateWidget` are going to be depreciated. See: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/plugin-api.js#L534](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/plugin-api.js#L534) Also, the fact that external links don’t work anymore could come from this: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/plugin-api.js#L524](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/plugin-api.js#L524) So that there should be some changes in core to make this available. ⚠ My knowledge of how Discourse works is almost non-existent so I could be very wrong. Am I right about my findings? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-hamburger-menu-links/87644)._
