That last point, of course it would be possible, just that most mods don't because it's kind of a hassle even when using hooks to do so (since visibility of a lower item doesn't magically cascade back upwards, as I found with SimpleDesk - a user could be a helpdesk admin and thus entitled to be able to visit some of the admin panel but the admin menu would otherwise be hidden to them)

Yeah but that's just because nobody bothers to edit the top level permissions, which should be perfectly possible. Anyway, it wouldn't apply to the Community tab, since that would be visible to all. So, that one should be a safe place to add anything.

Is it likely to grow enormous though? That would depend on the site I think. For a lot of sites, it should be perfectly adequate. But, there's no reason why this couldn't be an additional hook, rather than the only one. So call the one you want, and put your links there.
Now admittedly, most mod authors will want their willy waving in the breeze where everyone can see it, so they aint all that likely to use a droppy when they have the option of getting in people's faces. It could still be an option though.
If a full-on menu editor is not on the cards for Elk 1.0 (probably aint) then having mods coded so you can pick link location on installation would be rather nifty, and should be possible.

Just tried it. I like. Space for another four buttons on a 1024 screen, at default 90% theme width setting. Good scope there for more mods, and/or non-standard font size in browser preferences, and/or smaller screens. I could live with this.
