In newTabMenu allow assignment/override of the icon property for the action items

Description of the new feature

Hi.

One small cosmetic suggestion.

Currently, I can define actions->command which I can then select as the action in newTabMenu.
If I would like to have an icon (or glyph) for that item displayed in the newTabMenu, icon needs to be defined at the level of actions->command. That will result in icon being visible in the command palette as well, which I'd like to avoid (I don't like it visually to have only one or a few items with the icon in a long list of commands).

Would it be possible to have a possibility to define "icon" for newTabMenu action items ("type": "action"). That would allow assignment of desired icons/glyphs to desired commands only in newTabMenu and not in command palette.

Other option would be to have a property on the actions->command item level that would allow for the icon not to be displayed in the command palette (e.g. iconVisibility to have one of the following values: "newtabmenu", "commandpalette", "both", "none").

One more thing that could work is to allow the whole custom command to be excluded from the command palette.

Thank you in advance!

Proposed technical implementation details

It should totally let you do that! This must have just been overlooked in the initial implementation.

Something like:

        {
            "type": "action",
            "id": "User.scrollToMark.D3F0B923",
            "icon": "d:\\dev\\public\\terminal\\res\\terminal.ico"
        }

should totally work. Thanks for filing!

(We should probably allow that for profile entries too)

Hi, I think this would be a really nice feature to add so I have opened a draft PR to implement your suggestion: #18116

It's in draft right now with just the action entry updated to support custom icons. I will add support for Profile entries too before finalising the PR

[GeekJosh]

I have added the ability to override profile icons now too so I have opened the PR for review.

I have also and opened a PR to update the relevant docs here: MicrosoftDocs/terminal#808
