Different UI modes, different widgets, different challenges and ideas. Well,
mostly. This suggestion is for people who use the menus and toolbars and,
hopefully, like them :-)

I have also not seen this _exact_ widget implemented before, that's true. But
think about our styles sidebar, in hierarchical mode: Each row has the main
part, which is the name of the style: Double-click it, and you apply it; but it
also has the arrow indicating the open/closed state of the descendent styles
hierarchy - a separate part of the row, clickable for different effect. True,
it's not a menu, but it's already rather similar to what I suggest.

and again, the concept of splitting a menu-opening clickable
arrow/button-with-arrow from the main function of a widget is implemented
already in toolbar menubuttons.

I suppose that if this is considered too adventurous, it could be either an
opt-in, or another alternative UI mode.
