Arguably this makes little sense from a UI perspective, and may well
be a violation of the HIG.
While it may make little sense in most circumstances I can see where
there might be times that it would be a MORE straight-forward way of
doing things than other solutions. Take the old OS9 Apple menu for
instance. It let you open the Control Panels folder by selecting that
menu item instead of one of the items within the menu. Very nice,
indeed (and something that I miss).
I could see this being used in Safari, for example, to open all the
bookmarks in a submenu,each in separate tabs. (Just an example, mind
you.)
While it may not be legal in the HIG I can see CERTAIN circumstances
where it could be more user friendly to allow this capability. Notice
that I don't say "all circumstances."
