This refactoring could be a practical way to get something similar to
your proposal into Org core. At least, if the menus are factored out
appropriately.

The above statement is a hint that patches are welcome :)

The complaint was mostly from users who wanted to interrupt, say, the
capture process, switch to the menu buffer, and search text there using
isearch. Similar to what you can do with vanilla *Completions* buffer.

Transient has met similar complaints when it was in the process of
merging into Emacs core and now transient does support this "searching"
possibility. That's why using transient could be an easy way for Org to
address such complaints without a need to increase the maintenance
burden.

However, despite general agreement that Org should switch to transient
menus, we will still keep backwards compatibility with the existing
menus. So, one way or another, the existing menus will be retained.
Ideally, also factored out and possibly merged into Emacs core (as
requested by RMS
https://orgmode.org/list/E1kIPh1-0001Lu-Rg@fencepost.gnu.org).

Best,
Ihor
