You can do this by creating a custom plugin. [Plugin development information is here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/plugin-development.html), but the easiest way is to use the [Kibana plugin generator](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/6.3/packages/kbn-plugin-generator). The complexity of your plugin will depend on what you want that menu item to do.
