The fix I have is all the way back in AREXX on the*Amiga*
With that you could control menus and it would be (not) trivial to write your own Universal menu interface and control it from the AREXX device in your programs. For that you'd need to program a AREXX daemon for your OS and a universal menu interface that you control from your programs through the AREXX daemon

Are you up for that work?

You're not thinking of something like Cairo Dock. That differs too much
It would not be usable in this context.

I also found a copy of the ARexx User’s Guide for the Amiga. I’m almost tempted to read it and see how much of it I remember of it.

The first version of the 2D platformer Blutti was actually written in ARexx for a BBS system. So it was entirely in ASCII, the player character was an ampersand.

Sadly, I can’t find any copy of it anymore, but it might be out there on a backup of someone’s BBS. It would be fun to see if I could remake some of the levels in the new version.
