Glad you raised that!

Yes, I’d like to put in my own route with associated functionality.

But of course, that would mean?:

- creating an additional route
- altering the existing route map?
- extending the existing ChannelInfoNav?
- adding a new Component

Is that not feasible with the current plugin API?

This in general would be a useful thing to be able to do on similar Nav bars.
