How to add subtitles in a Leaflet layer control of overlay groups?

Question

I'd like to show subtitles in the control box for overlay groups of a leaflet map created in R. I found some examples (for instance https://github.com/ismyrnow/leaflet-groupedlayercontrol) but not applied to R language and I wonder if it's possible or not.

I created a reprex with three data sources, the idea would be to have in the overlay layer control something like:

Data type 1

⬞ Data1

⬞ Data2

Data type 2

⬞ Data3

How to apply this in R? Here's the reprex:

library(leaflet)
library(leaflet.esri)
library(htmlwidgets)
library(sf)

data1 <- data.frame(Lon=c(1,2), Lat=c(0.5,0.8))
data2 <- data1+0.1
data3 <- data1+0.2

map <- leaflet() %>%
  addTiles(group="OpenStreetMap", options = tileOptions(opacity=0.5)) %>%
  addEsriBasemapLayer(esriBasemapLayers$Imagery, group = "Satellite") %>%
  
  addMarkers(lng=data1$Lon, lat=data1$Lat, group="Data1") %>%
  addMarkers(lng=data2$Lon, lat=data2$Lat, group="Data2") %>%
  addMarkers(lng=data3$Lon, lat=data3$Lat, group="Data3") %>%
  
  addLayersControl(baseGroups=c("OpenStreetMap", "Satellite"), overlayGroups=c("Data1", "Data2", "Data3"), position="topleft", options=layersControlOptions(collapsed=F)) %>%  
  
  htmlwidgets::onRender("
        function() {
            $('.leaflet-control-layers-overlays').prepend('<b>TITLE 2</b>');
            $('.leaflet-control-layers-list').prepend('<b>TITLE 1</b>');
        }
    ")

I registered your linked example as a plugin:

library(leaflet)
library(htmltools)

groupedLayerControlPlugin <- htmlDependency(
  "@groupedLayerControl", "0.6.1",
  src = c(href = 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/'), 
  script = 'leaflet.groupedlayercontrol.min.js',
  stylesheet = 'leaflet.groupedlayercontrol.min.css'
)

registerPlugin <- function(map, plugin) {
  map$dependencies <- c(map$dependencies, list(plugin))
  map
}

data1 <- data.frame(Lon = c(1, 2), Lat = c(0.5, 0.8))
data2 <- data1 + 0.1
data3 <- data1 + 0.2

leaflet() |> 
  addTiles(group="OpenStreetMap", options = tileOptions(opacity = 0.5)) |>
  
  addMarkers(lng=data1$Lon, lat=data1$Lat, group="Data1") |> 
  addMarkers(lng=data2$Lon, lat=data2$Lat, group="Data2") |> 
  addMarkers(lng=data3$Lon, lat=data3$Lat, group="Data3") |> 
  
  registerPlugin(groupedLayerControlPlugin) |> 
  
  htmlwidgets::onRender("
    function() {
        
      var baseOverlays = {
        OpenStreetMap: this.layerManager.getLayerGroup('OpenStreetMap', true)
      }
      
      var groupedOverlays = {
        'Data Type 1': {
          'Data1': this.layerManager.getLayerGroup('Data1', true),
          'Data2': this.layerManager.getLayerGroup('Data2', true)
        },
        'Data Type 2': {
          'Data3': this.layerManager.getLayerGroup('Data3', true)
        }
      };
      
      var layerControl = L.control.groupedLayers(
        baseOverlays, 
        groupedOverlays, 
        {collapsed: false, position: 'topleft'}
      ).addTo(this);
      
      // https://github.com/ismyrnow/leaflet-groupedlayercontrol/issues/51
      L.DomEvent.disableClickPropagation(layerControl._container);
      L.DomEvent.disableScrollPropagation(layerControl._container);
      
      $('.leaflet-control-layers-list').prepend('<b>TITLE 1</b>');

    }"
  )
