It sounds as if you want a pull-down menu, as described in /Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/TasksAndConcepts/ProgrammingTopics/MenuList/Concepts/HowPullDownListsWork.html. To make the menu a pull-down menu, you can set the "pulldown" flag in Interface Builder, or call setPullsDown: in Cocoa.
I'm not sure what you mean by it "won't display large images", since menu items can have icons attached.
