I agree that this is the correct way to do this *if* the toolbar item is a simple action item with no state. In our application we have a number of toolbar items that contain values - text fields, et.c. - and they cannot simply be replaced or complemented by menu items. What if the toolbar item is not even in the window - what then? Of course I could disable the menu item in that case, but wouldn't it be very weird to have menu items that requires the presense of a toolbar item to be enabled? Not very intuitive for the user.

We have a huge enterprise application with a lot of windows and a lot of toolbar items. I'm not sure that it would be possible to have menu items for each and every one of these toolbar items in the main menu bar. What then?

Not sure whether it is the answer you wanna hear, but the proper way to do that is to place the actions and their key equivalents into main menu, so that they are accessible & work properly regardless the appropriate buttons are in the toolbar or not.
