Excel Web Api Ribbon Button with Dropdown List

Question

I would like to create a dropdown menu on the Ribbon with Excel Web API. In Microsoft documentation, there is an example of how to make it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/reference/manifest/control

<Control xsi:type="Menu" id="TestMenu2">

The problem is that this button works similar to, for example, Insert >> Illustrations >> Pictures, that when I click the button it shows dropdown, but if there is a way like, for example, Data >> Outline >> Group, so there are two separate buttons, one for action and the other one for the dropdown menu?

Is there a way to do this in Excel Web API?

This is what I have:

This is what I need:

I don't see a difference between **Insert >> Illustrations >> Pictures** and **Data >> Outline >> Group**. Please provide screenshots so we can see what you mean. — Rick Kirkham, Apr 07 '21 at 20:15

Sorry, there's no way at this time to duplicate that effect with Office Web Add-ins. But it is an interesting idea. You can suggest it at Microsoft Q&A for Office Web Add-ins.
