Right, but that click does *not* cascade through parent menus--this is
the problem. If I have a hierarchy, I can only use this trick on the
top-most menu unless I add handlers to all menus in the chain, and I'm
not sure how to find these a priori...

The Menu will dispatch a plain “click” event for the parent nodes.
Since menu options also dispatch “click”, you need to check for tht in
the handler.

So it looks like I can fake this by tracking a stack of open menus and
dynamically adding / removing MOUSE_DOWN listeners to the last menu
opened / closed. This seems... ahem... less than ideal. Anyone have a
better suggestion?

I need the ability to select non-leaf items in a hierarchical menu--is
this doable? Basically, suppose I have a dataProvider like this:
[ { label: 'a' },
{ label: 'b', children: [ { label: '1' }, { label: '2' } ] } ]
I want to be able to select a, b, 1, or 2. I can do exactly what I want
with a Tree, but I was hoping for something more compact. It seems that
selecting a node that has children does not dispatch an ITEM_CLICK
event: it just automatically opens the submenu. I'd like to open/close
the submenu on rollOver/rollOut, and dispatch a normal ITEM_CLICK for
that item on a click.
