Enhancement Request: Please add support for Blizzard Addons Compartment

[JPEscher]

same as https://legacy.curseforge.com/wow/addons/handynotes/issues/197

I was wondering if we could get a way to access options that doesn't clutter the minimap and i wont have to come searching for slash commands. figured this area of the blizz ui would work. more details: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Addon_compartment

hope this helps. please ask if there's any clarity needed.

Unfortunately i haven't really worked with LUA.
(i have PowerShell, Perl, Python, Bash, Java, C, and LISP, experience.)
Maybe if i look and things i can propose changes that help?

An attempt with manual registration style from https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Addon_compartment
I did a test with it at the end of the "Interface/AddOns/HandyNotes/HandyNotes.lua" file and it appears to work. Hope This Helps!

AddonCompartmentFrame:RegisterAddon({
	text = "Handy Notes",
	icon = "Interface/Icons/inv_misc_notescript1c.blp",
	notCheckable = true,
	func = function(button, menuInputData, menu)
		-- local buttonName = menuInputData.buttonName;  -- debugging check line
		-- print("Hello from the addon compartment! You clicked " .. buttonName .. "!")  -- debugging check line
		LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):Open("HandyNotes")
	end,
	funcOnEnter = function(button)
		MenuUtil.ShowTooltip(button, function(tooltip)
			tooltip:SetText("Handy Notes")
		end)
	end,
	funcOnLeave = function(button)
		MenuUtil.HideTooltip(button)
	end,
})

will make a fork and PR to help.

@Nevcairiel have you reviewed this? would love to know if it is accepted, even if the PR is not how you'd like it implemented.

[JPEscher]

@Nevcairiel i do not want writing credit. just to know if this enhancement request is accepted, even if the PR is not

[JPEscher]

@Nevcairiel would you kindly reject the ER and related PR or accept the ER and state that the PR is not how you want to implement it? I'd like to know if i should expect the added functionality or not. I also figured the best case scenario is the PR shortens the development time by allowing you to adjust the verbiage i used for the scroll over stuff.

@Nevcairiel [sorry if this is bad. i used google translate] Würden Sie bitte antworten? Ich würde gerne wissen, ob dies akzeptiert wird, auch wenn Sie eine andere Implementierung wünschen als im Beispiel-Pull-Request.
