Description

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

I'm currently working on a WPF application where I need to override the context menu.
This has been fairly straightforward so far, but I cannot work out how to specify a keyboard shortcut to be displayed on the menu item.

I would like the shortcuts to appear the same as the default menu:

The CoreWebView2ContextMenuItem.ShortcutKeyDescription property is read only.
The CoreWebView2ContextMenuItem.Label property documentation suggests that it "Will contain an ampersand for characters to be used as keyboard accelerator."

I've tried eg. "MyCommandLabel&Ctrl+H" but the shortcut is just incorporated into the label.

Am I missing something? Is it done this way due to localization?
It would be much easier to be able to override the property value with Set.

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

It's important for accessibility considerations and for "power users" to be able to specify the keyboard capabilities of the given commands,

How important is this request to you?

Impactful. My app's user experience would be significantly compromised without it.
