Custom Actions for Magic Items
I make a lot of homebrewed magic items, most I don't share with the community because they're just little quality of life changes. But it would be nice if my players could see custom actions on their character sheet rather than having to go into the items description.
This feature is already available in classes and feats. Could it not be ported over to magic items as well?

Yeah it seems strange that magic items don't have access to all the same options as feats/traits, as it just seems like it'd be a lot easier to unify the two systems.
Frankly though the homebrew stuff on D&D Beyond is a mess; if you have some idea of what you're doing it's okay, but often you have to copy similar items to see how they do something, and then end up just describing stuff anyway. Whole thing really needs an overhaul, and while I think it is planned it's already long overdue.

Yes. Magic items, in general, need an overhaul yesterday. They need the ability to have actions tied to them, and they need the ability to have charges tied to those actions or spells. Currently, most official magic items do not work in dndb as they should; any magic item that has multiple spells tied to it, each of which can be used once per day, just has a shared pool and you can spam the same spell with all the charges.
For most egregious example, look at literally all the legendary magic items from the Theros book.
