The proposed solution -if applied to second level items as well- would also solve 🐛 Second level menu items can't be reached if they have children Active .

Changes are made on on 11.x (our main development branch) first, and are then back ported as needed according to our policies.

I tend to middle-click or ctrl+click on links to open them in a new tab. I try to do this with the "Configuration" top-level nav item but it's not a link, so doesn't work. It would be good to make it a link. I can do the same with the "Extend" item because it is a leaf.

I guess the problem here is that it looks like a title and so user's ignore it. How can we update the design to have this be clear that its a link?

Same. The new module is hard to use because of the difference between the top-level links.
I approve of the proposed resolution:
A possible solution to that one (which could apply to the lower level as well) is to separate the menu item link from the ability to navigate to its child items
I have a site that uses this structure for its non-admin menu, and it works really well on both desktop and mobile. Items that don't have children can just be links, and items that have children but aren't themselves clickable can be expanded but not clicked. Works great.

With the proposed solution in the issue summary, it can remain a title because the icon itself will be clickable again.
