[Blink] [Bug report: was Blink] Feature request: Select alternate audio device for incoming notification

[Adrian Georgescu]

That submenu is not something static is a code that builds that menu dynamically. And then there are many other places where things do not work related to Accessibility. This is why you need to first evaluate all requirements, make a design and then implement it in all parts of the code. 

This is not some quick bug fix, is quite a project in itself.

This is why I told you that somebody with more interest and resources must address it.

I am certain that Cocoa supports this functionality in its core UI package.  I at least know that all GUI toolkits I have ever used for development support sub-menus natively.
