Popup Plugin
From LaneWiki
The popup plugin allows a single “trigger” product to popup an additional menu page with other items. For example, a “drinks” button could open a menu of specific drink types. This plugin saves space on the tab menu pages by allowing an additional page of items to be hidden behind a single button.
