I need a shortcut, menu entry of some type (not a desktop shortcut) that readily allows me to access a particular file on the disk.

I'm thinking something like when I pin a .txt file to the start menu in windows. Is that possible?

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.

open .gtk-bookmarks (in your home directory) and add a URI to that file like:

file:///home/user/file.txt To-dos

file:///home/user/anotherfile.txt Meetings

It will add a shortcut to your places/bookmarks menu and call them 'To-dos' and 'Meetings' respectively.
