That makes sense to me. The thing is that the trailmenu cookbook uses
trails to generate a menu list, and I think that menu list entries
should not be restricted to PmWiki page links only. I've also written a
custom pagelist FPL function to generate dropdown lists from a trail,
since there is no standard markup for dropdown lists available yet.
There I have the same issue, I'd like to include URLs and intermap links
in the dropdown list.

I doubt that I'll have a lot of backup on this, but I'd vote for it ;-)
