This is not a call to menuview. This is JavaScript. It works on the
clientside, inside the browser, and it just gets a reference to a HTML
element with that ID. It has nothing to do with the velocity template.

XWiki is mainly developed in Java, velocity templates are used for
presentation and some basic functionalities. None of the templates are
useless, they are all called either from a java Action, or, as you
mentioned, recursively from other templates or documents.
