Setting labels for custom menus / commands?

I recently realized I can add my own menu entries to do things like create "sub-menus", but the labeling gets a bit awkward. As an example if I do something in my config file like:

[keys.normal.space]
"f" = { "f" = "file_picker", "s" = ":write", "c" = ":open ~/.config/helix/config.toml" }

I can use space f to get into file mode, but the f entry after pressing space has no label, and the c entry displays the open command, but it would be nice to make it say something like "Edit Helix config". Are either of those possible?

Still no workaround on this?
I have a custom command for closing current buffer and would love to have a flavor text for it.

TheAwiteb#1 has a solution...

The config would look like this:

[keys.normal.space]
"i: Toggle inline hints" = ":toggle lsp.display-inline-hints"
