SimpleMenuLayer Select Long Click?

Has anyone successfully added a select long click callback to a SimpleMenuLayer?

In the source code of SimpleMenuLayer, there’s only a mention of a select_click being set, but not select_long_click:

            simple_menu->sections = sections;
            simple_menu->num_sections = num_sections;
            simple_menu->callback_context = callback_context;
          
            // use this SimpleMenuLayer as the callback context
            menu_layer_set_callbacks(&simple_menu->menu, simple_menu, &(MenuLayerCallbacks) {
              .get_num_sections = get_num_sections,
              .get_header_height = get_header_height,
              .get_num_rows = get_num_rows,
              .draw_row = draw_row,
              .select_click = select_click,
              .draw_header = draw_header,
            });
          
            menu_layer_set_click_config_onto_window(&simple_menu->menu, window);
          }
          
          SimpleMenuLayer* simple_menu_layer_create(GRect frame, Window *window,
                                                    const SimpleMenuSection *sections, int32_t num_sections,
                                                    void *callback_context) {
            SimpleMenuLayer *layer = applib_type_malloc(SimpleMenuLayer);

My best guess would be that you need to set the callbacks again and trigger menu_layer_set_click_config_onto_window again, but I don’t know if this can be overwritten.

I think I previously attempted to use menu_layer_set_callbacks on the result of simple_menu_layer_get_menu_layer, but definitely didn’t rerun menu_layer_set_click_config_onto_window when I first did it so I likely did other things incorrectly.

I’ll likely go down a different path in the end to not break the expected behavior of a menu for the user. Figured that this was a decent inaugural post for this section of the forum. It’s also a prime example of a question that would otherwise get lost in the noise in Discord and is better suited for this format.
