I think I figured out what I needed to do. I basically want to mimic the menu as found here where the primary is "community" and on click it has a dropdown menu.

I pretty much reverse engineered the source code for here and have recreated it. Now I'm working on the icons. What I realized is that they created a submenu and then call that submenu as a popup on a null/placeholder labeled Community.

Is there a list of the system icons available for use?
