TYPO3 Core

this is a nice missing feature!

Nothing has changed here. what do you mean with "more like you expect it"? this is still a feature request!

Voting up!
Another use case: client wants to show the access restricted pages in menu, but clicking on them must show login popup, therefore we need to add onclick="displayLoginForm(); return false;" to such links and there is no way to do this. Currently we do it by dirty XCLASSing of \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\Menu\TextMenuContentObject

TYPO3 6.0

Btw, onclick event can be added very easy by following line at the end of \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\Menu\AbstractMenuContentObject -> changeLinksForAccessRestrictedPages():

// add onclick event
$LD['onClick'] = $this->mconf['showAccessRestrictedPages.']['onClick'];

And changing this line at \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\Menu\AbstractMenuContentObject -> link():

$list['onClick'] = $onClick;

// add onclick event, if it was supplied
$list['onClick'] = $onClick ?: htmlspecialchars($LD['onClick']);
