There is this wonderful module for Drupal 7 called Content Menu. It allows site builders and content authors to build their site's menu structure at the same time as they are adding content and does it in a very cool way with a workflow that simply makes sense.

It's features include: - [ ] Creating "dummy" menu links that serve as placeholders for when the actual content is created at a later stage. Related issue: #422 - [ ] Choosing an already existing piece of content to point to when creating new menu items. This is done using a view as a content browser/selector where people can search for or filter down to specific content from all that is available on their website.
