I wasnt able to test it but the Debian menu policy says the following:

  The command field holds the command that should be executed when the
  menu entry is selected.  Commands will be executed with `sh -c' using

    execl("/bin/sh","sh","-c",command)

  or the equivalent.

I think this implies that it works. It should just work as KDE does the
same with the commands from the desktop files.
