No, it hasn't, but I found two other possibilities to solve this, both 
not really kde related.

Either
Copy the .dektop file to /usr/share/application, this dir is searched.
Or
Add (or modify) a xml-file to $HOME/.config/menus as described in
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ar01s07.html

The first solution is much simpler.
