Research direction

Start by tracing how menu items open posts and how an entry point uses expandedMode; compare that flow with showForm(). Define the behavior needed for a menu item to open an HTML entry point directly without creating a custom post or navigating away from the post, then verify that games and basic forms can use the same path.

Description

Many times I have desired the option to open an html file from my app directly from a menu item forgoing the need to create a custom post just to display the information. showForm() is not up to the task for even basic forms so this would allow many more options. We could even launch games directly from menu items without navigating away from a post. There are so many possibilities with a feature like this.
