My thoughts are, since the World menu bears responsibility for
providing access to the entire system, it should not also be a
short-cut mechanism.  There are already so many ways to make
short-cuts.  The "open.." menu can be tacked up onto the desktop.
Individual menu entries can be cloned and dragged straight into to the
Docking Bar.  There's also Control+3 and also the hot-keys.

With all of those, additional access from the main World menu starts
to become less valuable than a shorter World menu.
