why do such unnecessary copying ?

You mean (x-popup-menu
          t (list menu-title
                  (cons menu-title
                        (mapcar (lambda (item)
                                  (if (consp item) item
                                    (cons item item)))
                                item-list))))

You mean

  (call-interactively
   (choose-from-menu "Commands"
                     '(("Copy             C-insert" . copy-region-as-kill)
                       ("Goto Line"                 . goto-line)
                       ("Paste/Yank       S-insert" . yank)
                       ("Redo"                      . redo)
                       ("Search Files"              . grep)
                       ("Undo             C-_"      . undo)
                       ("Word Completion  M-/"      . dabbrev-expand))))

If you define `right-popup' as a menu keymap, you'll save yourself
the trouble of calling the commands and you'll get the hotkeys for free.
