We have added a new menu status "link" for external site links.

Example how to add to topbar:

$this->applications['jabber'] =
    array(
        'name' => 'Jabber Chat',
        'status' => 'link',
        'url' => 'https://jabber.XXXXXXXXXXXXX.de',
        'menu_parent' => 'tools',
        'target' => '_new
    ');

Of course, you need to create a group "tools" first of use a
pre-existing one.
