Sidebar Icons

[jbergstroem]

What version of starlight are you using?

0.25.3

What is your idea?

It would be great if the sidebar items would optionally be drawn with icons. I guess this is harder to achieve with the autogenerated sidebar; but for us that set it manually it could be passed as an option to the link attribute in the sidebar config in astro.config.mjs.

Why is this feature necessary?

It helps to visually organize the sidebar items.

Do you have examples of this feature in other projects?

• Medusa documentation

I am aware that this can be done via attrs (class="myicon" and .myicon::before {}) but it seems like a low hanging fruit since icons are well integrated elsewhere.
