Would a system Service be what you're after? These appear under the
application menu > Services. Other than that, I know of no supported
way to insert an item into a menu in every program -- although you
might also try an NSStatusItem. Note, however, that with that
solution, the docs state:
Use status items sparingly and only if the alternatives (such as a
Dock menu, preference pane, or status window) are not suitable.
Because there is limited space in which to display status items,
status items are not guaranteed to be available at all times. For
this reason, do not rely on them being available and always provide
a user preference for hiding your application’s status items to free
up space in the menu bar.
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi,Is it possible to make a program that appears as a menu item for
all applications ? Actually i want to make a custom action which i
want to appear in every application's menu (just like About, Quit
etc...) or it can just appear in the Apple menu so that it is always
available no matter what application is running. If it is possible,
how can i implement it.Thank you
