The answer is that you can't. Designer simply doesn't allow to do much with
actions at all. So you'll have to write code for that yourself.

And you're not really adding a QMenu, you'd add an action that has a menu
and that menu again has actions. If you try how submenu-editing works in
designer you'll quickly notice that designer hides any non-leaf actions in
the action editor.
