Yes, I do.

Yes, it shows some normal stuff I guess (when I trigger the modal):  
`(e,t){t=t||{};var n=(0,c.getOwner)(this),s=n.lookup("route:application"),a=s.controllerFor("modal");a.set("modalClass",t.modalClass||"".concat((0,u.dasherize)(e).toLowerCase(),"-modal"));var i=t.admi…`

But unless I’m misunderstanding something, my issue isn’t the modal interaction (which works), but placing my widget in the hamburger menu.

I followed this [modal creation tutorial](https://meta.discourse.org/t/render-modal-from-theme-client-side-plugin-api/94305/10) and it works perfectly, the custom button shows the modal.

The modal works.  
Adding the widget button in a template works and triggers the modal.  
Adding a **regular link** in the hamburger menu works.  
…But adding the **widget button** in the hamburger doesn’t work and creates an empty link instead. Are there some restrictions of some kind when using decorateWidget with “hamburger-menu”? 🤔
