Describe the request

Wish there was a defined way that when you choose a board type from the Tools menu or the board selection drop down,

That the board type has some prescribed way to add menu item commands that are specific to that type of board.

Note sure of the granularity, if it is by top level board Installs, Teensy, ESP32...
Or can it be specific to specific boards: like T4.1.

Not sure of best solution for this? Maybe entries in boards.txt/platform.txt?
Or something in Plugable Discovery?

Describe the current behavior

Several of the different board types, may have commands that are specific to the type of board.

Some of these that are for Arduino Boards are built in and always showing for all board types.

Example the WiFi... menu item is not applicable to the Teensy 4.1 I have selected.

But there are potential commands that are Specific to Teensy boards. For example on 1.8.19, There is a menu item for Teensy 4 security:

So wish there was a prescribed way in this case for when a Teensy board is selected, that the Teensy 4 security command is
executed. Currently with Arduino 1.x this is done by the Teensy install actually updating the Arduino program files.
