UI - Sidebar: Categories (and Collapsability) for fava-sidebar-link.

[seltzered]

For those using the fava-sidebar-link feature, when adding more than a few sidebar links the layout can get crowded such that a user cannot see core aspects like the 'errors' sidebar link & color indicator.

There's probably a number of possible enhancements (re-arrangements, etc.), but would like to suggest the ability to have a category field for fava-sidebar-link entries that would render sidebar categories that could be collapsible.

This is not something that I'd implement but a PR would be welcome.

+1. I use links extensively and it would be useful to have a nested/accordion style render.

As a workaround, you might use notes ~ filters. Here's an example of my Other Links. It uses the Journal view filtered on a special account.

To define, I use note with a custom "fava-sidebar-link" pointer to the special account:

The actual links are basic <a href=/relpath>Text</a> html, which are messy but render and the note syntax allows for more descriptive text. For source readability, special characters (parenthesis, pipe-bar) don't need to be url-encoded, just escape double-quotes \". Categories could be created/nested with additional pseudo accounts or filtering on description.
