The way this is currently working is: Any ListItem where `Section` is not null and `Command` is null, is considered a Separator. On my tests, this seems to be working fine. Tried to make this work without changes to the API, but I think this needs to be discussed. ### Some of the possible enhancements to existing extensions ### Search apps <img width="792" height="523" alt="Screenshot 2025-11-27 173618" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f9f9a64d-3ec1-4f7e-922b-997a3a4d074d" /> ### Window Walker <img width="785" height="518" alt="Screenshot 2025-11-27 173728" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/230f647d-210a-4b60-9068-c8fff890d2c9" /> ### Winget <img width="809" height="497" alt="Screenshot 2025-11-27 174006" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/547529c1-7600-4438-8c3e-e872e0327650" /> ### Search files <img width="819" height="536" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e86accc0-3f85-412d-8fb0-914a5479baff" /> ### Grid Pages <img width="804" height="964" alt="Screenshot 2025-11-27 174055" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a3bba7db-95df-47ec-9cfb-f38775ab960e" /> <!-- Describe how you validated the behavior.
