use loadUrl method of the BrowserWindow inside your click event.

eg:

  win = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600})

  const template = [
    {
      label: 'Custom',
      submenu: [
        {
          label: 'navigate',
          click () 
          {
            win.loadURL('https://electron.atom.io');

          }
        }

      ]
    }
  ]

  const menu = Menu.buildFromTemplate(template)
  Menu.setApplicationMenu(menu)
    // and load the index.html of the app.
  win.loadURL(url.format({
    pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'index.html'),
    protocol: 'file:',
    slashes: true
  }))
