Change the default setting for assets to hidden links, rather than menu links, or allow organisations or users to choose their own default.

Hidden item is the safer option, and the most common assets we create need to be hidden e.g. news items.

The current state adds risk, as many editors forget to change assets to hidden, and this adds time to every task. It's only adds a few seconds to each task, but the frequency of those tasks means the time adds up.
