Comment (by pulkomandy):
I think a tooltip over a popup menu is about the worst UI design you can
achieve. The tooltip will hide parts of the menu, making it even more
difficult to browse.
However we could have extra submenu levels if we really want to overdo
things here:
{{{
Open with
StyledEdit
/boot/system/apps/
/boot/home/generated/objects/
/some/other/copy
DiskProbe
/boot/system/apps/
/boot/home/generated/objects/
}}}
Where clicking the items at the first level (StyledEdit or DiskProbe)
would open the one from system/apps directly. This avoids cluttering the
whole menu when only one or two apps have duplicates (only those get a
submenu), and keeps it reasonably short even if many apps have dupes.
