How do you go about creating something that you can make a navigation menu item that isn't based on Object lists? I need to create something that would generate some custom reports (default Reports aren't robust enough to handle what I need to do). Basically, I need to allow a user to input some variables and then click a button that would generate a report that displays a bunch of different numbers and graphs related to the many different parts to my DB schema.

I have recently dug into web components, and see great potential in being able to do so, but wasn't for sure if you can make a Web Component a Navigation Tab Item in an App.

Can you do such a thing with Web Components, or is this more in line with Visualforce Pages, or what is the best method for this?

You cannot directly make a Lighting Web Component a Navigation Tab Item, but you can always put Lightning Web Components in a Tab and utilize that within your application.

For this, the approach will be:

  1. Create an App Page as described in this trailhead from Lightning App Builder
  2. Put your LWCs on that App Page
  3. Include the App Page in your application

You can find a working sample of this approach on the lwc-recipes.
