how would you allow editing of a combo box's values?

In a nutshell, my current app can render a custom a dictionary into an outline view where the unique keys can be grouped into expandable items. The value cell uses a combo box cell, where previous values may be selected, or a new value can be entered and added to the menu choices.

Now I'd like allow an elegant way to edit the values of a combo box's menu. I'm currently experimenting with using an outline view in conjuction with a combo box cell to allow editing (drag and drop rearranging, renaming, delection) of the menu items, but merging this behaviour into my existing outline's data source isn't going to be easy.

I've considered coupling the combo box with a text field, but for some reason this doesn't feel right. It would probably be much easier approach though.

It would be great if there was a way to allow editing within the combo box's menu itself. Is there a clever way that this could be implemented?

Has anyone tackled a similiar design?
