Comment:

 I need this since 2011, and i guess this ticket has been slipping through
 my fingers so far.

 It is often necessary to modify the admin menu item forms.

 The current solution is to use a custom admin walker, which does not
 always work nicely, and is often not compatible with plugins. A filter
 hook would work much better in most cases, so we really should get this
 into the core.

 With a filter anyone would be able to insert any custom fields anywhere in
 the admin menu item form.
