Comment (by axinet):

 I was really disappointed to find that 6 years ticket is still not
 resolved. Recently I was in need to create an image based front page menu
 with manual cropping. I had to base it on my custom post type, prepare the
 whole customizer structure and finally can use
 {{{WP_Customize_Cropped_Image_Control}}} to allow users manual cropping to
 required size. And still, have to prepare management of items hierarchies.

 It would be highly appreciated to finally allow customizing nav_menu_items
 with custom metadata, one of which is definitely managing related
 thumbnail_id with {{{WP_Customize_Cropped_Image_Control}}}. By the way for
 consistent user experience ''cropped image control'' should be useable
 also in regural wp-admin pages, not only in customzier.
