I don't use the menus, only keys, so I can't do it for you.

Check out the Emacs manual
- 22.17.1.2 Extended Menu Items

I think they are extended the same way as binding commands to keys.

First you need to write such a command. (Then bind the command to a
menu.)

(defun my-command-name ()
  (interactive)
  (call-interactively 'original-command-name)
  (call-interactively 'original-command-name))

You can find the original command name with C-h k <click on menu>.
