Normally, `imenu' supports nested menus, when users select the target
location in steps, like item3 <RET> -> item3.1 <RET> -> ...

What is proposed is to list all the sub-menus together, as an option, so
that the users can choose, for example, item.3.1 directly, without going
through parent item3.

Maybe. I was just not sure how I can create a new bug report, while
still replying to Org mode feature request.
