Menuitem class describes a single menu item. You can use
all of the gadtools menus features expect Image menus here.
Since Menuitem class is a subclass of Family class, you can
add other menu items as children of a menu item to indicate
sub menus. MUI does not limit the level of sub menus, but
the operating system currently allows a maximum nesting
level of one. Because of this, children of menu items
should not contain other menu items for now, the results
are unpredictable.
Note: For handling menu items, MUIA_UserData and the methods
MUIM_SetUData, MUIM_GetUData and MUIM_FindUData can become
quite useful. See the Menu demo program and the accompanying
documentation for details.

MUIA_Menuitem_Trigger -- (V8 ) [..G], struct MenuItem *
FUNCTION
This attribute is set to a pointer to the struct MenuItem of
the item object when the item is selected. By setting up
notification on this attribute with MUIV_EveryTime, you can
react on menu actions and query the MenuItems flags
immediately.
Note that menu reactions are also possible any
maybe a bit easier with MUIA_Application_ReturnID,
MUIA_Application_MenuAction and MUIA_Window_MenuAction.
