Bug Description
0) More detailed description:
The default hotkey to switch which monitor to display the desktop on (Super+P) only shows two options: Mirror and Join Displays. There is no option "External Only" or "Built-in Only". This computer is configured with an AMD graphics card plugged into two external monitors, running Ubuntu 22.04 in the Wayland session.

3) Expected to happen:

4) What happened instead:
Only two options appear on screen while pressing Meta+P: "Mirror" and "Join Displays".
