Answers.Text: Thanks Chase, I'll take a look at those plugins. May need to fork one and add capabilities to include some child elements/menus.

  Looking for a way to show Channel entries directly on the sidebar for content editors. So if someone has access to:
  
  **DEFAULT STRUCTURE of Sidebar Menu**
  
  * Entries ->
    + CHANNELS ->
      - News
        * News Item 1
        * News Item 2
        * News Item 3
  
  **PREFERRED STRUCTURE of Sidebar Menu**
  
  * News
    + News Item 1
    + News Item 2
  
  In other words, Content Editors don't need to see "Entries" and then "CHANNELS" to get to their section they update. When someone has permissions for a specific Section or Channel, it should be neatly accessible on the left side.
  
  In Craft, what is the correct approach to make this happen?
