Add more options instead of url

[Neirda24]

Hi !

Unless I'm mistaken, this plugin only allows to set a URL.
If we need one MenuItem to always point to a taxonomy, then we have to update the menu everytime we modify the slug of this taxonomy.
What would be great is to have a possibility to link to a taxonomy directly within the menu. Then either fetch the URL on render or cache it and invalidate it whenever we update the taxonomies.

What do you think ?

Hey @Neirda24!

I agree that it could be great. But for me editing the slug of a taxon should not happen :p.

Also the main idea behind the plugin is to fetch the menu and all its items in one SQL query.
If we add a way to specify a taxon as a destination we may need to run more than one SQL query.

I'm open to suggestion on how to develop this feature without killing the performance!

@jacquesbh : Indeed we have to take into consideration the performances. This could be one way :
Store two menus in database : one canonical and one "compiled". The compile occurs either when we save the menu or when a taxonomy is edited. That way we always have one query to fetch the menu.

For now we don't link items with entities.
See #36 to simplify the selection of the slug.
Maybe it can be done with an event on save on entities like taxon or product to check if a link exists and replace it in the menu. Or generate a redirection when a slug change.
