You can override resource custom_finish_layout_init for this purpose in your component.
1. Open Component Wizard and open your HELLO_WORLD component
2. Then from bottom left corner click "Add" and then from "Add Resource" wizard select "Resource - HTML Include/String"
3. Select include & give name custom_finish_layout_init and then put below script there for adding navigation link.
<$include super.custom_finish_layout_init$>
// create a root node for hello world
     navBuilder.addChildNodeTo('NAVTREE', 'collection',
          'id==HELLO_WORLD', 'label==Hello World');
     // add child to this root node
     navBuilder.addChildNodeTo('HELLO_WORLD', 'item', 'id==HELLO_WORLD_2',
          'label==Say Hello', 'url==<$HttpBrowserFullCgiPath$>?IdcService=HELLO_WORLD_2');
     // add as a drop-down menu item, if available
     if (navBuilder.menuB != null)
          navBuilder.menuB.addTopLevelNode("HELLO_WORLD");
     // otherwise, create a new Tray for it
     else if (navBuilder.trayA != null)
          navBuilder.trayA.addTopLevelNode("HELLO_WORLD");
     }
