The "favourites_url" not available to controllers where "favourites_type" is 'link'

Now that LMS 8.2.0 supports providing OPML instead of just an array in
"explodeplayist",   I can provide a 'favorites_url" on  a dynamic menu
with a "favorites_type" of 'link'.  
That all works beautifully, I've taken advantage of this in the BBC
Sounds plugin so that a user can 'favorite' the entire "My Sounds" menu
(which is the BBC's subscribing and bookmarking menu) and the entire
menu can appear under 'favorites' along with the users other
favourites.

However, the ability to mark a menu of type 'link' as a 'favorite' is
only available in the default skin.

The favorite_url is just simply not provided at all to the JSON
controllers (e.g. Material Skin) for these menu types, so they can't
support this.  Is this a deliberate design choice?
