## Detailed Description

MenuItem is a convenience type that implements the AbstractButton API, providing a familiar way to respond to menu items being triggered, for example.

      Button {
          id: fileButton
          text: "File"
          onClicked: menu.open()

          Menu {
              id: menu

              MenuItem {
                  text: "New..."
                  onTriggered: document.reset()
              }
              MenuItem {
                  text: "Open..."
                  onTriggered: openDialog.open()
              }
              MenuItem {
                  text: "Save"
                  onTriggered: saveDialog.open()
              }
          }
      }
