hmm I am lost here,,, I dont know what you want to achieve here that you not already can do but a little bit different
What I try to understand is that you want to use Joomlas article system when building pages and groups items?
I think me and maybe others must have some more detailed info and understanding what you want to achieve here..
You can add a ES menu link toolbar to other Joomla component ie Joomla articles or what ever you put a navigation.php file into the template override location which is at JoomlaFolder/templates/yourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/helpers/cover/navigation.php.
and try to add something like this I did before so I dont know if it works now
<?php if ($this->input->get('view', '', 'cmd') == 'profile') { ?>
<div class="es-profile-header-nav__item <?php echo $active == 'info' || $active == 'about' ? 'is-active' : '';?>" data-es-nav-item>
<a href="https://www.yoururltojoomlamenu,com" class="es-profile-header-nav__link"><span><?php echo JText::_('EStexnametoolbar');?></span></a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
