Open an URL via MenuBar

Is there any way to open an URL (ExternalResource) via a MenuBar MenuItem? It seems that BrowserWindowOpener.extend(MenuBar.MenuItem) is not supported as it’s not an AbstractComponent. And it MenuBar doesn’t seem to allow me to add a Link either.

I would really like to keep the user interface sensible by having all actions take place from a MenuBar, but not sure how to proceed. Or do I just have to go the Vaadin 6 route and open the browser window and deal with popup blocker issues via the Command for the menu item? Thanks for any pointers!

Looks like the same issue with the file downloading extension…you cannot attach it to a menu item.
