Add top-level menu pointing to a different custom post type?

Question

I have a situation where I want to add a second custom top-level menu for a custom post type.

So, when we have a CPT named "fruits", which registers a top level menu with a label of "Fruits", clicking on "Fruits" will take you to edit.php?post_type=fruits.

I'm trying to add a separate top-level menu with a label of "Oranges", and when I click that, it actually goes to 'edit.php?post_type=fruits&subtype=orange'. However, when adding the new menu the link always wants to point to "admin.php"...how can I get it to point to the edit url above?

edit: this seems to work , not sure if it's the best way or not: This actually seems to do the trick, not sure if it's the best way though:

add_menu_page('Oranges', 'Oranges', 'edit_posts', 'edit.php?post_type=fruits&subtype=oranges', '');

Answering my own question as noted in the edit:

This actually seems to do the trick, not sure if it's the best way though:

add_menu_page('Oranges', 'Oranges', 'edit_posts', 'edit.php?post_type=fruits&subtype=oranges', '');
