Favourite forums in CP

I'd like some way to have links to my favourite forums in the CP, since I usually spend most of my time there to monitor my subscribed threads. How to do this, I'm not sure.

I realize there's the 'Forum Jump' drop down box waayy at the bottom, but that doesn't allow you to open the forum in a new tab.

I added links to the forums I frequent to 'My Links', which I can see almost everywhere but in the CP. Can the 'My Links' drop down be thrown somewhere at the top of the CP?

Or, there could be a list, much like the 'Subscribed Threads' section of the CP, listing only the forums you choose.

I like the first solution better, but would anyone else use something like this, or have any other ideas?

When you're in a forum you like, click the Forum Tools dropdown and select "Subscribe to This Forum"

Wicked... I knew there had to be something like this already. Thanks edwin.
