Spectrum Menus are a bit non-standard when it comes to data. It expects an IMenuItem. If it’s a plain object, the text is set to the label or text property of the object and the rest of the menu properties are inferred as well. The original object is *replaced* with a MenuItem if the original is not an IMenuItem.
