In ePortfolio, how do I add a matrix to the menubar of my worksite?

In ePortfolio, it is possible to create a direct link to any matrix from the menubar of any worksite. This might be useful when, for example, a matrix supporting an academic program resides in a portfolio site, and the faculty in that program want to link to the matrix from their course sites. As long as they are members of both the course site and the portfolio site, students can use the menubar link to view and work with the matrix without leaving the course site.
