Description

The TASVideos.org Official Discord Server recently got its own #bizhawk channel.
And currently, two options in the "Help" menu already link to the Bizhawk wiki page on TASVideos and to the BizHawk subforum on the TASVideos forum.

So I had the idea that maybe a third link, a Discord invite link, would fit there, since the current chat trend seems to be Discord.
It seems Discord even has the ability to make an invite to a specific channel instead of the entire server, so that following the link directly opens the channel.

Just an idea I had.
(And while making this issue ticket on this github I noticed there are a few links to the IRC channel, maybe that's the preferred chat? Maybe that should be the link, or even a fourth link, or none at all, I don't know.)

Research direction

Start by locating the Help menu and reviewing its existing TASVideos wiki, forum, and IRC links. Confirm whether the project wants a Discord invite, an IRC link, both, or neither, and identify the approved destination. Done means the agreed chat link is added to the Help menu and opens the intended destination.
