 I'm trying to add some additional fields to the nav menu blocks but sadly
 there are no hooks for doing so. Zero.

 We should add some and get in a better habit of just doing so when the
 code is written.

 My specific suggestions are before the Remove/Cancel links (i.e. for
 adding standard stuff), one above the "original" field, and one after
 those action links (to add more actions).

 We need to account for both extending the menus admin page and menus in
 the customizer.

 Depends on: #38072

Comment:

 Milestoning for 4.8 since nav menu items closely align with the initiative
 on blocks: A nav menu item, widget, and editor content block should all be
 the same underlying thing.
