You mean that's *a* workaround, and a poor one at that.  You could also
use xdg-open, which would likely be installed on any system that has an
XDG-compliant menu system.

Not that I fundamentally disagree; I see no reason why Link items
shouldn't be allowed in menus, aside from just increasing complexity of
the implementation (which is generally pretty damned complex as it is).
