I wonder if warpme is asking about the JUMP action in menu themes:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Menu_theme_development_guide
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Jump_points

In a nutshell, copying .../share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/library.xml
into $HOME/.mythtv/ and then modifying it to add a <button> entry with
a particular JUMP action.
