Is this the right way to create a "menu view" module?

Hello,

Following #134301: Display a view as a menu, I spent some time thinking about the way to build such a module allowing to display items of a view as menu items.

About the UI, there would be a new display type called menu in the view admin panel (at admin/build/views/edit/viewname).
In menu editing page (admin/build/menu-customize/menuname), there would be a new tab allowing to add a "view item".
In this tab, one would choose the view, plus manage options (enable, expand, parent, weight).
Attached is a picture of what this would look like…

So it would not be possible to manually edit the menu created form the view, just to insert it at some point within a meny hierarchy.
First question: does it sound a good way to do so?

Then I tried to understand the way to code this (I must confess this would be my first "real" module):
- create a view plugin following help/views/api-plugins in order to have a new "menu" display.
- then, looking at other module provide additionnal style or display like tagadelic_views or ical_calendar, it looks like I have to extend the views_plugin_display class and then to theme the output.
- then I would have to hook into the menu system to choose where to display the output.

Is it right? Where can I find any additionnal doc about creating a display plugin?

Finally, if anybody is interested to join, it would be so helpfull!
Thank you in advance for your help.

P.S.: I did not post it in the module development forum as it looks like one cannot attach picture there :(
