    What I wanted to achieve:
    Link to a small option page for my plugin via plugin_action_links_
    No entry in the settings side bar menu needed.

    What I tried
    To get the option page / a page shown in the admin screen I used add_option_page.
    But this adds an entry to the menu, unnecessarily. (Workaround: $menu_title = ”, $position = -99999)

    Suggestion
    add_option_page add argument menu on / off

    Related: The way to link an option page via plugin_action_links_ is not beeing shown in the developers handbook.

    You can use this filter to add the menu item:

    // Link to settings page from plugins screen
add_filter( 'plugin_action_links_' . plugin_basename(__FILE__), 'add_action_links' );
function add_action_links ( $links ) {
    $mylinks = array(
        /* options-general.php?page=mysettings Will create a link under Settings
         * themes.php?page=mysettings Will create a link under Appeareance
         * tools.php?page=mysettings Will create a link under Tools
         */
        '<a href="' . admin_url( 'options-general.php?page=mysettings' ) . '">Link Name in Menu</a>',
    );
    return array_merge( $links, $mylinks );
}
