This is kinda proof of the concept.
It can invoke other app's MenuBar directly from AHK.
And, can be used as another way to invoke AHK's TrayMenu too.

Code:
#NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv

TPM_RECURSE   = 0x0001
TPM_NONOTIFY  = 0x0080
TPM_RETURNCMD = 0x0100

DetectHiddenWindows, On

WinGet, hWnd, ID, ahk_class Notepad
WinGet, hAHK, ID, ahk_class AutoHotkey

CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos

nIndex := 1   ; 1-based index of the SubMenu. If 0 or omitted, thin bar will appear.
;hWnd := hAHK   ; will get AHK's TrayMenu

hMenu := DllCall("GetMenu", "Uint", hWnd)

If nIndex
hMenu := DllCall("GetSubMenu", "Uint", hMenu, "int", nIndex - 1)

WinActivate, ahk_id %hAHK%

nID := DllCall("TrackPopupMenu", "Uint", hMenu
          , "Uint", TPM_RECURSE | TPM_NONOTIFY | TPM_RETURNCMD
          , "int", xpos, "int", ypos, "int", 0, "Uint", hAHK, "Uint", 0)

PostMessage, 0x111, nID, 0, , ahk_id %hWnd%   ; WM_COMMAND

MsgBox, Done

1) You should indicate Notepad must run for this to work.
2) And it would be useful to indicate what it does:
Even if Notepad is not active, you got the first drop-down menu (the File one) at mouse position and you can choose an item and get the task done.
I am not too sure how this can be useful (a kind of tear-down menu?), but it is fun, thanks.

Thanks for reminding it. I forgot to do it, which is not unusual for me, unfortunately.

Yes, it can be regarded as a visual implementation of WinMenuSelectItem. If commented out nIndex field, it will give an actual (thin) menu bar with the menu names are stripped out.

Yes, it's just a proof of concept yet.

Sean,
- how we can do that?
- If we have a running AHK script(A) with a custom tray menu, how can we read it by an other script(B) and append script's(A) tray menu to script's(B) tray menu (as submenu)? Also, if we select a script's(A) appended menu item in script(B), to be executed in script(A)?

Thanks

Hi Sean,
Can I add any autohotkey menu into desktop context menu? This may possible but I don't know executable file for desktop context menu.This may be explorer.exe? Or any dll file? Can I do this using GetMenu?

If you want to modify other process's context menu you have to create a contextmenu handler dll file. But, you can simulate some of them inside AHK:
