Is it possible to create a menu bar app on macOS with compose-desktop?

Thanks Kirill, I already looked at this example, but `MenuBar` looks limited to text buttons. I'd like to add arbitrary components. Is that currently possible? Here's an example:

This SO answer says it is possible through AWT so I _could_ try interop-ing it with compose. <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13481504/creating-an-nsstatusitem-menubar-app-in-java>

This is different from menu bar. This is a "daemon" app that doesn't have main UI window and is only accessible through the tray icon

I see. The window also needs to be anchored with the tray icon. Do you know if this something possible with the current set of APIs?

I submitted a feature request: <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/850>
