  AFAIK, no. There's (undocumented, Apple-private) SPI to get the 
MenuRef used for showing an NSMenu, but since an NSMenu is (sort of) a 
superset of a MenuRef, going the other way round isn't really 
possible. You can, however, read the MenuRef's item list and 
("manually") create an NSMenu that looks the same.

  What exactly do you need this for? I couldn't find the original post 
your message seems to be referring to.
