Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The Category List has a nice feature to offer an “add item” button.
The Joomla Router is searching for the nearest Item that has added item feature and redirects the user there.
Which is almost a bug for me.
For example:
I have a Menu Item Press releases and in the Second Level “Add Press release”
I have a Menu Item Jobs and in the Second Level “Add Job”.

When I click on the “Add Article” Button in the Menu Item Jobs, I get redirected to the menu item press/add-pressrelease
Because that's the first item edit element the router can find.

I already reported that to @Hackwar, and it's just like the router works.

Describe the solution you'd like

My dream-solution would be that the router would look for the “nearest item” and not the first.
But another solution could be a selection in the category list to select where the Add Button should redirect to.

Additional context

Adding Articles from the Frontend is for some use cases very mandatory because some are just “Guest” at the site and should not do anything in the backend. I have this issue for two independent NGO websites and one Company, where the members submit articles through this categorylist. For me it's a bug.
