More Flexibility With Navigation Menu Item Types

Description

Currently, WordPress only supports 4 types of navigation menu items.

  1. post_type
  2. post_type_archive
  3. taxonomy
  4. custom

Which is fine if that's how it needs to be for now. However, since anyone who decides to create their own menu type, their links will ALWAYS default to "Custom Link". At a minimum can we at least get a filter to override the menu type label?

I've created my own section with a custom menu type. Now all of my links show up as "Custom Link". Which is confusing, because there's actually a section to add "Custom Links". My links are not "Custom Links". I'd like to be able to filter that label text (at a minimum).

Referring to ./wp-includes/nav-menus.php Line 769; As of WordPress 4.8. Code block:

<?php
else {
    $menu_item->type_label = __('Custom Link');
    $menu_item->title = $menu_item->post_title;
    $menu_item->url = ! isset( $menu_item->url ) ? get_post_meta( $menu_item->ID, '_menu_item_url', true ) : $menu_item->url;
}

Could just add a filter...

$menu_item->type_label = apply_filters( 'some-hook-name', __('Custom Link') );

I mean, if you're going to just default everything to custom, at least provide some flexibility here...

Thanks!
