Awesome, got it done just as you posted it.  Great write-up on the wiki.  Pointing the submenu to the custom node creates the list as you show.  Perfect, thank you both!

Minor aside: The parent node can have a icon, this is true for all nodes.
 

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node order="6" type="folder" visible="Library.HasContent(Video)">
<label>Favourite Actors</label> </node>
<icon>C:\actor_images/actor.png</icon>
