Coming back to this issue, I spent some time today playing around with ext's toolbar with menus example: http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/menu/menus.html. Seems to work really well, but writes everything (including a table!) from javascript rather than working off of existing markup.
But if all you need is a button and/or a button with a drop-down menu, it seems like you could do it with a combination of some CSS-button styling and ClickMenu > I've started a conversation with the developer about extending his plugin to > support > this type of menu system.

I played around a little with the idea myself, and it seems like the two primary hurdles are selecting only the "top-level" links, and positioning the drop-down properly when the link is styled as a button. I didn't get anywhere with it myself, which isn't saying much. But I thought I'd throw it out there in case others might be interested. -- Owen
