My UI Browser application allows you to explore menus in target applications, because you can keep UI Browser in the background at all times. One of its tricks is that you can use all of UI Browser's user interface elements (click buttons, scroll columns, etc.) while holding the Command key down to keep UI Browser in the background. Therefore, you can open a menu and submenus in the target application, hit UI Browser's hot key to select the menu item under the mouse in UI Browser's browser view, then explore all of the menu item's accessibility attributes, etc. while holding down the Command key and leaving the target application's menus open. I wrote it this way precisely to make it possible to explore menus and menu items (including contextual menus, etc.).
