The thought here is to add a Category link under each format menu. If the user wanted to add a category, they would need to go to the Posts Menu or add the category when creating a new post. Adding this as a menu item may make it easier to do such a thing.

The possible downside to this is, the user will be directed to the posts menu and shown all categories. Outside of not being a Custom Post Type, I don't really see any way around this or to make this better. But, again, this plugin is to essentially do one thing, and that is take post formats and display them as admin menu items making it easier to add a new post format and view previously created posts of that format. Outside of that, a custom post type may be a better fit if needed.
