How to add a custom download format to the download dropdown menu?

[hepcat72]

This isn't a bug or a feature request - this is a help request. I hope this is the right place for this. I figured that the response would be a new example, so I submitted this here for this reason.

There's a good bit of context to this question, but I will try and just get straight to the meat of it.

I would like to add a custom download "format" added to the builtin download drop-down menu and I'm not quite sure how best to do it.

The displayed table has a file column where it only displays the file name. I would like one of the download formats to be a zip-archive of just the files in that one column.

I have the backend all worked out. I can generate and stream the zip archive, no problem. I just need a "button" in the download's dropdown to submit a form that triggers the download.

I could create my own separate button that is independent of bootstrap table, but it would be slicker if I could add it right into the existing download options.

So now, some context...

So far, I've been implementing my own buttons alongside the bootstrap-table button toolbar. As you can see here, I have 3 custom buttons (reset, stats, and my own download button implementation) and a bootstrap-table toolbar that only contains the column selector:

For awhile now, the download button was not a drop-down and at the moment, I've been trying to implement a drop-down and realized that I would either need to dig into the innards of bootstrap-table or add another bootstrap library to make it work, so I decided instead that it would be better if I could finally sit down and learn how to fully utilize bootstrap-table's toolbar to implement all of these custom buttons, but for right now, I just want to add the download button.

The download functionality I've been doing until now is also custom. It is also a form submission, so if I utilize bootstrap-table's button bar, I would only want 2 items in the dropdown: my tsv format and my new zip archive of one of the columns' files.
