Autoit Popup Menu

[HRWL]

Been searching and cant find a function or method to duplicate this Autohotkey function https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Menu.htm
Anyone have a way on how to?

Am trying to recreate a popup custom context menu via hotkey for shortcuts to apps, scripts, etc.

If you have been searching as you say, I am surprised you missed these in the help file:

• TrayCreateMenu
  • TrayCreateItem
• GuiCtrlCreateMenu
  • GuiCtrlCreateMenuItem

For a context menu:

$ContextMenu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($SomeControl)
Local $Menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Functions", $ContextMenu, 1)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Blahblah", $Menu, 1)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Jump2ThisFunctionName")
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Blahblah2", $Menu, 2)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Jump2ThisFunctionName2")

I did in fact miss the TrayCreateItem... But what I'm looking for with this is similar to GuiCtrlCreateMenuItem, but without having to create a gui beforehand.

With my current script running on AHK, following example #2, the context menu waits for a hotkey, when activated, the menu shows up reguardless of active windows, I select the item and the script runs it's set action, and hides until activated again.

; EXAMPLE #2: This is a working script that creates a popup menu that is displayed when the user presses the Win-Z hotkey.

; Create the popup menu by adding some items to it.
Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item1, MenuHandler
Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item2, MenuHandler
Menu, MyMenu, Add  ; Add a separator line.

; Create another menu destined to become a submenu of the above menu.
Menu, Submenu1, Add, Item1, MenuHandler
Menu, Submenu1, Add, Item2, MenuHandler

; Create a submenu in the first menu (a right-arrow indicator). When the user selects it, the second menu is displayed.
Menu, MyMenu, Add, My Submenu, :Submenu1

Menu, MyMenu, Add  ; Add a separator line below the submenu.
Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item3, MenuHandler  ; Add another menu item beneath the submenu.
return  ; End of script's auto-execute section.

MenuHandler:
MsgBox You selected %A_ThisMenuItem% from the menu %A_ThisMenu%.
return

#z::Menu, MyMenu, Show  ; i.e. press the Win-Z hotkey to show the menu.

So a context menu of sorts, activated by a hotkey, that can appear on top of any window? I'd say you can create a bogus window and spawn a menu like that, im not sure, but i think you really have to create a window, even if it's transparent.
