 With the release of custom meta for taxonomy terms, I can't help but
 suggest the same for nav_menu_items.

 One can currently use a custom walker class as demonstrated here:
 [https://github.com/kucrut/wp-menu-item-custom-fields]

 However this is a tedious and ultimately ridiculous method, as Core should
 lend itself to easy customization and display of nav_menu_item meta. Not
 to mention this method makes it extra difficult to utilize UI components
 other than a standard text input when creating options for navigation menu
 items.

 I'd love to be able to utilize add_meta_box or something similar on
 nav_menu_items and I'm sure others in the community would benefit as well.
