Would an expandable tree item work instead of a dropdown? The interface lists
in the Qt UI are implemented in ui/qt/interface_tree.cpp. As the name implies,
it's a tree widget[1]. Sticking the extcap interfaces under an "External
Devices" tree item shouldn't be too difficult.

[1] Most of the "lists" in the Qt UI are actually trees. QListView gives you
one column and QTableView is cell-based (i.e. it's a spreadsheet).
