Add Documents or links to Documentation List

Can custom documents be added to the list of documentation on the main page? Also is it possible to add links in the list? Example I would like to provide my users a link to our wiki page.
If so which file(s) need to be edited to do so.

Thanks
Jim

just copy your document on [install folder]/docs, check permissions (may be user used to run webserver can have some issues to access it)
no standard way to add a link
Try configuring a custom item ON MENU (dig config* files and files on /const/ dir)

Apologies for reviving an old post. I am posting an example here in case anyone searching for the same topic reads this thread.

Here is how I added a hyperlink linking to a Word document that is hosted on a separate (MS Sharepoint) server.

In my solution, the hyperlink is not located inside the Documentation drop-down box. Instead it is a separate bullet item, located above the drop down chooser.

Not the most elegant solution, but works well for hyperlinks that won't change often.
