This doesn't involve any changes to the network menu, except that the "Wi-Fi" switch in the menu, like its other two manifestations, should say "Wi-Fi used for hotspot" whenever that's the case. So probably that menu item should be a shared component to ensure that it behaves exactly the same everywhere.
