Setting a global shortcut to a menu item #103

Is there a way to set a global shortcut to a menu item? (so for example no matter which application I'm at, without clicking the menu bar icon, I could press the shortcut key and the menu item's function would be called)

I'm fairly confident this is not possible. Seems like it would be a loophole for some malicious stuff.

Probably possible via https://github.com/feeluown/FeelUOwn/blob/602fe097305474441dadd8c0fb223538b1f72cc2/feeluown/global_hotkey_mac.py

the question is: can we show the whole menu with a shortcut?
