[support] hardcoded links in menu

[Marty Landman]

Hope it's ok to reply / follow up on my own posting. I ended up 
finding these hardcoded links on 70 menu entries and a couple of 
hundred nodes and changed them using mysql substring and replace 
functions from the shell.

Fortunately we have a test site before going live with these changes.
