[support] Menu item to outside URL

[Laura Scott]

It's not a direct solution, but you can pull the content of any block  
into any place. Create a block of your chosen name, then call up with  
php the content of the navigation menu block. That's the general  
approach I used on the BlogHer.org navigation block (called  
"shortcuts" there).

The answers are in the php snippets area of the handbook.
