Different menu types are available.
Internal object or URL, route and material group tree.

Route

With a route it is possible to execute an action directly by clicking on a link. Depending on the action, the controller name, action name, area name and, if necessary, parameters must be transferred via JSON.

Alternatively, e.g. news can also be linked. It should be noted that instead of controller names, etc., the SEO name is passed.

These configuration options are rather something for developers.
