There is also the issue that our menu items don't know about WINEPREFIX.
And that the menu items don't get deleted when the windows lnks get deleted. Thu I guess that is less of a problem when they are stored somewhere under $WINEPREFIX .

No need for any of that, just put 1 file in ~/.local/share/applications/ and it should work fine. Alternatively you could put them somewhere inside ~/.wine and set $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (put the files in ~/.wine/menu/share/applications and set $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to ~/.wine/menu/). I'm pretty sure you could add a line to some dot file (.xinitrc?) and have this set on login.
Why not put a link from ~/.local/share/applications/wine to ~/.wine/menu/freedesktop/ and create the .desktop files there? That way we can have multiple links to our .desktop files and we can have a alternate formats of menu links, if the need arises (as it was in the past or still is).
To fix the WINEPREFIX thing we could use ~/.local/share/applications/wine/$choosen_prefix_name as link and some other stuff. But is it wanted that we solve this in wine?
