UI: Add Functionality to add new material from geometry node editor itself.

RCS suggestion my.png My idea is new materials can be added from the node editor itself by making the pop up menu similar to material properties panel by adding the " + new " button. This can be also done for adding new node groups etc. for consistency in UI.

Very essential.

I think it only makes sense if you can instantly edit it after creating it. With the new texture node system they plan to do instant reaching of the texture node tree from the shader or the GN tree where it's used.

I'm pretty sure if that will be implemented we'll be able to reach the shader nodes from GN just as easily.

When that's done, the suggestion above will have a much better chance to become reality (and to be actually useful)
