Your constraints are unreasonable. It's like saying you want to
communicate with a webserver, but are not allowed to use sockets.
Your frustration is the fault only of whoever as decided that your
design may not change.
if you care, the menu in the menu bar has 30 items in it, the first
5 have keyboard shortcuts and enablement set to look nice.
30 menu items may be a lot from the user's perspective (seems near-
unusable to me) but for the system it is nothing.
the rest of the items EACH have their OWN sub-menu, some with a
dozen items in it. so "borrowing" is the rational choice, rather
than duplicating all those menus AND sub menus and the nice keyboard
shortcut glyphs etc etc. it is NOT a light-weight menu.
It's maybe a kilobyte of memory. That is nothing when pages themselves
are 4K.
NSMenu conforms to NSCopying, so if you have done this once by hand
you can just copy it to use as your context menu.
