Hi Juan,

Yes of course:

You can press Shift-Right-Mouse-Button an copy a single menu item;
see MenuItemMorph>>#mouseButton2Up localPosition:.
This method sends #duplicate to self.
The resulting copy is then grabbed by the active hand,
which invokes MenuItemMorph>>#aboutToBeGrabbedBy:,
which in turn packs the single item into a
new instance of MenuMorph and answers that one
to be dropped with the hand.

This “process” leads to menu morphs without
a title and only a single item.
I often use it to have my favorite world-menu
items readily available.
Alas they do not have a sensible label,
and thus their taskbar morphs
do not have a sensible hover-help message.


HTH,

Gerald
