Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I've thought a bit about how the menus work in Drupal. Coming from Joomla I also remember that it was more intuitive there. So i tryed to make some faked Screenshots how i think the Drupal Menu Administration could be a little bit more easy/intuitive.
The idea behind it is:
In Drupal you create Content first, then you get the URL and then you add the URL to the Menus. I think for new Users or Users migrating from Joomla etc. it would be nice, to have the ability to browse/create Content etc. Also it would be nice to be able to edit the target site directly from the menu.
Maybe Screenshots say more than my not very good english:

http://drupal.org/files/edit-menu-items.png
http://drupal.org/files/edit-menu-link.png
This is just a suggestion, i guess its far to late for Drupal 7. But maybe this is something for a contrib module or to think about for Drupal 8

If still a feature request please reopen explaining in the issue summary how this is different.
