Implementations in other DEs:
XFCE — xfce4-whisker-menu, xfce4-appfinder
KDE — kickoff (menu), Krunner

KDE's implementation in particular is interesting, as it is extensible with things like a calculator and browser history integration.

Would personally rather not add this to the menu (the extra functionality in the Windows start menu just irritates me), but I wouldn't be opposed to adding command-run capabilities with the Run Dialog. Might depend on this though: BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-control-center#37

Perhaps it could be toggle-able like in KDE? Additionally, all 3 implementations don't show the option to run a command unless it is in your $path, and KDE's implementation also hides the command option if the command has a .desktop entry (barring any arguments)

If it'll be anywhere, it will be the Run Dialog. Not the menu.
