 I started testing the trac-18584 branch of your github repository. For me,
 this makes the admin menu page fully functionnal. I used the new filter
 'wp_nav_menu_item_fields' to remove all default WP fields, add my own
 fields and populate them. This replaces efficiently the js hack that I
 currently use to obtain the same result. To save the fields, your current
 patch did not require any change to my 'wp_update_nav_menu_item' filter.

 The "dummy" fields correctly appear in the customizer. I am ready for
 further tests when you'll provide a way to populate the fields and save
 them.

 title?
 This is what I already do. Well, in fact, I replace the title and url
 fields by hidden fields.
