How to get <<foo to show in a menu?

I'm not sure if this is an org-mode problem or a general emacs one, so if its in the wrong place, sorry, and if you can tell me where it should be placed for a better result, then great. :)

Anyway, I'm writing something that has interspersed things like <<here>>
or <<10-08-2018>> or <<2018-08-11>>, so there's no set pattern except
they're all prefaced with <<, but how can I show these in possibly a
Imenu menu to help in moving about in the document, please.

Or is there some other simpler or easier way of getting these to show in
a drop-down menu from the menubar please?

Thanks
Sharon.

Hi Sharon,

How about just
M-x occur <<.*>> RET
