I've pushed this in
https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/tree/breadcrumb
Most of the list view links now support navigation menus (it's just a
matter of adding class='model-link' to the <a> tag), so you can get the
sense of how this behaves.
You need to hover the mouse on <a> tags and wait for a bit before the
menu shows up. I added this delay intentionally --- without it, it's way
too easy for unintended menus to open as you move the mouse from one
part of the page to another.
I think I like it, but as always, feedback welcome.
I'm expanding the ui-samples plugin to describe how it works and how to
take advantages of this from plugins.

The implementation is done in such a way that there's no extra data
loaded until you actually activate the menu (by hovering the mouse
over), so I think we are OK with this regard.

My only concern would be to test this with bigger installations as well.
When having 1000 jobs in one instance innocent looking 200 bytes of
information per job may make a big difference :-D.

I also think that having this option on every model object would be a
really good idea.
e.g. this could be useful in the executor list too
