I am using RelatedLinks datatype for menu editing and would like to add an additional property to associate FontAwesome font to each Menu item.
I found the FontAwesome Icon Picker DataType that I would like to use as the Property Editor.
My question is as follows; Do make a copy of the existing Umbraco RelatedLinks then modify to include this picker within AJS Controller/HTML View or .. is there a more official way that I should take to sub class the existing RelatedLinks controller.
One other question is that assuming it's the former where I make copy and modify, is there any AJS examples that incorporate a secondary datatype such as a picker.
I suggest you look into using the Umbraco package called archetype. It will allow you to create a type which can be made up of multiple types. So you could create a type called font awesome link and it would be made up of a related link and a font awesome picker.

Thanks in advance! Umbraco Rocks!
