    Perhaps we should introduce a special variable that, when non-nil,
    allows the disabled menu items to send their events to the input
    queue.  HELP commands could then bind this variable.

That is exactly the solution I thought of, after I read the first half
of your message.  C-h c and C-h k can bind that variable in their
interactive specs, around calling read-key-sequence.

Would you like to implement this?
