Directory hotlist separator enhancement

Currently we can use the '-' symbol to create a separator.
It would be great if by specifying for example '- Various' the separator will not be a line but the specified string which will not be selectable like the line separator is now just to define an organization titles for the items following the separator.
The string could be grayed out to avoid confusion of why it's not selectable.

The dir menu Ctrl+D is currently not owner-drawn. Your suggestion would only be possible with an owner-drawn menu.

I don't think it needs to be owner-drawn. Of course it would look better but adding disabled (greyed out) item should be enough for now. Isn't it possible?

Support-- for such implementation. It would look really bad, and wouldn't visually separate entries as well as a custom control.
Christian, if you do it, do it right.

Of course we should also keep the current implementation.
As I suggested when a user defines '-' as a Directory Hotlist entry, TC will add a divider.
The expansion can be if the user defines e.g. '- Various' the divider will be replaced but the word string like regular entries but of course not be selectable and somehow displayed differently (grayed out, or bold, or italic, or with different font size/type etc).

Pdavit, your impletentation, you can use sub-menu..
Personnaly for separator i use "___________________" for header i use [# Usefull network links #] as title and a null cmd.
No fancy font, color,.... but for today it is functional.

The "sub-menu" feature was available back then!
