To give an example of this the server-settings uri has one entry,
    <ParentLink>/etc/X11/serverconfig</ParentLink>

If you alter this to another directory which contains desktop files the
uri ceases to function in the menus

Doesn't work, and the title doesnt change (and doesnt seem to referenced
normally)

For example if you reference server-settings.vfolder.info inside
preferences-all-users, a menu item apperas but no entries

While if you copy and paste directly into applications-all-users it
does, but there is still a preferences entry in the top level menu
