How to know which function a menu item calls?

How to know which function a menu item calls?

In emacs, for shortcut keys, it is able to know which function it calls by
using C-h k.
 However, I don't know how to know which function calls when I clicked a
menu item? (especially for those that don't have shortcut keys.)
 Can any one tell me how to know it?
 Thanks

Which of course has an unhelpful prompt (Describe key:).  If the
prompt were to be changed to say something like "Describe event (key,
mouse or menu selection):", it would be more obvious what it can do.
It doesn't matter if the prompt is long, since at most, a few key
strokes need to be echoed in the minibuffer next to it.

If some emacs maintainer reads this, please consider it a feature
request, even if it is in the wrong forum.  ;-)
