Sure, you can do wonders with the new custom menus in WordPress 3.x. Just see the wp_nav_menu() for more information, in particular the part about different menus for logged in users.

Your theme needs to support custom menus for you to be able to use this function of course.
Thanks David. Wasn’t quite was I was looking for, but I did manage to find my answer here:
http://www.webmaster-source.com/2008/12/22/add-an-item-to-wordpress-27s-favorites-menu/
My present code for unsetting defaults and adding my own custom items:
//Add the favorite menu filter & call to function
add_filter('favorite_actions', 'custom_admin_favs');
//Define custom favorite menu function
function custom_admin_favs($actions) {
/* DEFAULT WP ACTIONS
$actions['post-new.php'] = array(__('Add News'), 'edit_posts');
$actions['edit.php?post_status=draft'] = array(__('Drafts'),'edit_posts')
$actions['post-new.php?post_type=page'] = array(__('New Page'),'edit_pages')
$actions['media-new.php'] = array(__('Upload'),'upload_files')
$actions['edit-comments.php'] = array(__('Comments'),'moderate_comments')
*/
/* Remove default WordPress actions */
unset($actions['post-new.php']);
unset($actions['edit.php?post_status=draft']);
unset($actions['post-new.php?post_type=page']);
unset($actions['media-new.php']);
unset($actions['edit-comments.php']);
/* ADD New Options for MY THEME */
$actions['post-new.php'] = array(__('Add News'), 'edit_posts');
$actions['post-new.php?post_type=artist_post'] = array(__('Add Artist'), 'edit_posts');
$actions['post-new.php?post_type=release_post'] = array(__('Add Release'), 'edit_posts');
$actions['edit.php?post_status=draft'] = array(__('View Drafts'), 'edit_posts');
return $actions;
}
Not too sure this is the most efficient way to go about it, however it’s working as I wanted.
Apparently “Favorites Menu” is removed starting with WordPress 3.2
