Feature request summary

Consider adding the ability to pin app actions so that they appear at the top of the 'More actions' menu.

Rationale

In discussing #8058 this context and idea was shared:

I'm representing an app (Translate & Adapt) which relies on More actions throughout admin, there's a realistic chance of getting relegated far down. Here's a screenshot of a store with a long title, that pushes all page actions into More actions, including Share:

Localize, our action, could end up pretty far down.

Here is that same menu on mobile:

Merchants may use app actions over and over again - more than they use some of Shopify's out of the box ones. E.g. I'm personally not convinced how helpful Share is.

A thought to toy with (which I recognise pushes scope) is pinning app actions. We do this for apps in the navigation when they get used a lot:

And Amazon has a helpful pattern along these lines to bookmark commonly used navigation items:

Something like that feels like it might be helpful for heavy app users:
