Adding a menu to the console would be fine.

But I don't think that it would be a good replacement for the popup
menu. For those who use it frequently it would be rather tedious to dig
out another window first and then go back to the applet window afterwards.
I have some kind of similar situation with the popup menu right now:
I am using 2 monitors and when the applet window is on the right monitor
the popup menu appears on the left monitor.This means that the mouse has
a long way to go each time. (Luckily I can avoid this by placing the
applet window on the left monitor.) With a second window it would be
even worse because the menu always appears on top. But the other window
will most probably be buried below other windows.

So the console window should only be used as a replacement for the popup
menu if no better solution can be found.

Rolf
