Description

Jeroen showed me a 3rd-party app once that did this (SugarCRM); I think we're now in striking distance of being able to implement it within Isis.

Basically, the idea is that, if there are a bunch of "finder"/query actions in the application menu bar, then whenever invoked these should capture that invocation as a bookmark (we already can do this) but render that bookmark not in our bookmark panel but instead as a submenu of the application menu.

In other words, when the user selects a menu item from a top-level menu, they can also easily see (in the submenu) previous invocations of that query.

These could even be pinnable or retained across sessions.

~~~
Raising this now not because necessarily want to implement it, but just to reserve the idea that submenus of menu items are not for further actions, but instead might hold these bookmarks.

~~~
Jeroen: can you dig out and attach a screenshot of SugarCRM?
