Add a 'Join Chat...' item in the buddylist menu. The callback just asks for the name of the chat. So, if joining a chat requires some more information (eg. password), then the user will still need to add the chat in the buddylist first, then 'Edit settings' and then join. Hopefully that's a less frequent scenario.
