Add a way to mat accordion to have a title row before the expansion panes

[tbnovaes]

Please describe the feature you would like to request.

It would be great to be able to have something like the picture. Sometimes we want to add accordions to a specific section, and even tho accomplish it with a mat-card and some css is possible, it requires some extra work.

Having mat-accordion-header and mat-accordion-title would be nice.

What is the use-case or motivation for this proposal?

Want to divide the accordions into sections, which is a really common use case.

Is there anything else we should know?

Hi @tbnovaes! Have you tried using a disabled <mat-expansion-panel>? I simply pass an <h3> into its <mat-expansion-panel-header> and that's it! Here have a look at this sample. You may still need a little CSS if you want to be able to adjust the margins between panels, but that might be a different issue. This however, might be a little less work than using a card.

@sriharish yes that's a nice workaround, and in fact far easier than use a card for that. Thanks!
