Is there any way to open an NSMenuIItem (that has a

So is there something like a "performClick" on NSMenuItem ?
I couldn't find any way neither in the docs or archives to do it...


Bad news: I don't know.

But I have been wanting to do the same thing, as I believe it would be helpful for new users of my app to have the most relevant submenu expanded when they launch my app for the first time, and are staring at the menu bar wondering what to click.

At least if NSMenu/Item would give us some screen coordinates, we might be able to do something yucky with System Events.

Well, if anyone knows, you'll make two people and their users happy.
