I have a requirement to include Media items directly into a menu.
Choosing the menu item will display the attachment page.
Currently, this is not possible, for two reasons.
By default post_type `attachment` has `show_in_nav_menus` set to false.
If set true, then the Media metabox is displayed in `wp-admin/nav-
menus.php`, but with "No items".
This is due to _wp_nav_menu_meta_box_object() setting the default query to
"post_status" = "publish".
Were the default query for attachment set to "post_status" = "inherit"
then the Media items would be listed.
This would allow media items to be easily added to menus.
{{{
} elseif ( 'attachment' == $object->name ) {
//
$object->_default_query = array(
'post_status' => 'inherit',
);
}}}
=== Current workaround ===
I can very easily programmatically set `show_in_nav_menus`,
I can also implement the `nav_menu_meta_box_object` filter
to update the value for "post_status" as above.
But it would be a lot easier if the logic in the filter was in core.
