Make a menu to add onion and auth-cookie to TB
Currently it's very difficult to add an onion address and auth cookie to Tor Browser.
It would be nice to have an option in torbutton menu where you can set HidServAuth and optionally MapAddress, instead of having to edit your TB torrc file.

I was wrong, using x.y.onion is not documented or implemented anywhere. (I wonder why I thought that?)
I wanted to add to this old discussion that
x.y.onionexists as a way to do subdomains for an.onion, as of #6344 (moved). (That may be where you were thinking of this from, teor.)So it couldn't reasonably be overloaded for this sort of client-auth feature.
There isn't any existing part of the URL that can be overloaded for this kind of feature, because an onion site can use any URL feature: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL#Syntax
Also, overloading the URL is poor UI. And it won't work when sites embed resources from the authenticated site.
The menu item is a much better idea,
where is it documented not yet (#25277 (moved), #27680 (moved)), but a user gave me this link on irc: comment:1:ticket:27680
