Finally figured a way to get this to work. I am running kodi leia -18 and Aeon MQ 8 skin.

This still works for single click items. For addons that require more than one click it won't work. Here's how I got this to work.

1. Go to video addons and open Super Favorites settings menu.
2.Turn on kodi favorite item under display.
3. Add a folder say SPORTS
4. Add NBC sports and any other sports you want
5. Go to program addons
6. Add the SPORTS folder to kodi favorites inside super favorites , not the same as favorites in kodi
7. Open kodi favorites long press on Sports folder and add to regular kodi favorites.
8. Now on Aeon MQ8 I go to customize and create a new category buy going to favorites and adding SPORTS folder 
9. That folder now appears on home page.

I not good at explaining things but I tried. Might depend on the skin how you can do this.
