Hi
I got really stuck with this! I thought it may have been simpler as I just want to add a link to Google Analytics to my admin page.
I came across this post:

INSERT INTO `abc_dataset_values` (`dataset_column_id`, `value_varchar`,`row_id`)
VALUES (7,'external_links',11)
--ITEM_TEXT
INSERT INTO `abc_dataset_values` (`dataset_column_id`, `value_varchar`,`row_id`)
VALUES (8,'text_external_links',11)
--ITEM_URL
INSERT INTO `abc_dataset_values` (`dataset_column_id`, `value_varchar`,`row_id`)
VALUES (9,
'https://analytics.google.com/analytics' ,11)
--PARENT_ID
INSERT INTO `abc_dataset_values` (`dataset_column_id`, `value_varchar`,`row_id`)
VALUES (10,'external_links',11)
--SORT_ORDER
INSERT INTO `abc_dataset_values` (`dataset_column_id`, `value_integer`,`row_id`)
VALUES (11,1,11)
--ITEM_TYPE
INSERT INTO `abc_dataset_values` (`dataset_column_id`, `value_varchar`,`row_id`)
VALUES (12,'core',11)

EDIT - I added the above lines to my DB. Please see attachments for the results - the menu text is missing and link does not work.
