 '''The Problem:'''

 The current methodology for replacing a custom link, or any menu link is
 by doing the following process:

 1. Remove old menu link
 2. Insert new link
 3. scroll to bottom of page (if menu is large)
 4. Drag new link from end of list
 5. Drop new link in desired location
 6. repeat steps 4 and 5 until you hit the jackpot
 7. Enter menu options again (css, label etc)

 '''Why is it a problem'''

 It is very inefficient, especially when: (a) dealing with huge menus (b)
 menus with many sublevels (c) replacing many menu items which have custom
 options

 '''Solution requirements'''

 - Retains Menu position / hierarchy
 - Retains Options (css class, label, title)
 - Choose from Pages / Posts / Categories etc

 '''Demonstration of desired functionality'''
