The main and almost unique advantage of having these new menu items are just because then you may have keyboard shortcuts of your choice for each action. Now that every keyboard shortcut is freely configurable, it makes sense to have those navigation and toggling actions just one key away ;) So, this is for user convenience, no big trouble in coding. It will be the first thing to get done once this weekend release gets out ;)
Back on the inputs and outputs issue, my suggestion was not about making connection management from the menu. No, no, no :) Look: the way I suggested just deals as a shortcut to the Connections window, much in the like to what is already done for buses in the Mixer widget: for example, selecting Track Outputs will command the Connections to show up the current assigned output bus ports which apply indirectly for that track. This is also dead easy to implement (ok, it will take an hour or two, but no big deal) so I guess there's no can and no worm holes here :)
