Hi,
kando i very useful, and i really want to integrate it on my workflow, i would specially like to do some bash scripting using kando, and to do so, there is 2 thing that i would like to suggestion and which will be very useful,
abilities to see sub menu+item as a path not exactly like Linux file system path i.e:"~/Dir/.../file", but what ever is the format (JSON, XML, etc...) , i just want to have possibility to directly interact with sub menus, like i.e : opening a specifics sub menu, without the need to pass by the root menu

after an element is activated and kando finish executing, to return the path of the selected item within the sub menu tree as a return value

to show exactly what i would like to achieve, i.e, i have 2 sub menu in the root menu, one is actions, the other one is foo, in actions sub menu, there is 2 items, copy and past, my menu is called groot, suppose i open my menu within cli kando -m groot, and i selected copy item in actions menu, i would like for when kando close ,to display the path to copy item, something like groot/actions/, and if i would like to open a submenu i could just kando -m groot/actions/

THANKS
