How to achieve multiple create items in USelectMenu/UInputMenu?

Description

I'm using a USelectMenu to select over multiple entities. I would like to have a separate create item for each. However, currently only 1 create item seems to be supported directly.

If I naively just include my own create items (of type: 'item') with appropriate onSelect, then they get filtered out by the search.

Workarounds:

1. Make a default create item followed by a modal/popover asking which type of item the user actually wants. Working, but awkward UX.
2. Make naive create items always include the search term so they are not filtered out. Works but meh?..

Proposal: if currently there is no clean way, then add new property always to an item of type: 'item' which excludes the item from filtering. The property also easily covers all cases of create-item, so the latter can even be deprecated if desired.

There isn't a per-item always/ignore-filter flag for normal items today. createItem is a single synthetic row, and ignoreFilter disables the component's filtering for the whole menu.

If you need several create actions, the cleanest current workaround is to set ignore-filter and pass already-filtered items yourself, keeping your create rows in that computed list regardless of the search term. Otherwise, keep one built-in createItem and branch in a small chooser/modal after it is selected.

Your proposed per-item flag would be a new feature rather than something currently exposed by USelectMenu / UInputMenu.
