Oh! Now I understand how a fly out menu could work: to replace the feature icon bar entirely. Clicking and releasing the breadcrumb icon would change LibrarySidebarExpanded to show the current track table's feature. Clicking and holding the breadcrumb icon would bring up a menu like the current feature icons list. This would make our differences about focusing track table panes moot because different features would be opened directly on the track table they change. >> Having an icon on the track tables for this will solve both issues. > > Good idea!
