Cadence menus customization

Anyone knows how to insert an menu item in a previously created SUBMENU in Cadence? I've successfully inserted the item in the tools menu using hiInsertMenuItem function, but I want now to insert it in a submenu in the tools menu instead of the tools menu itself...

cadence .menus

why not use $cds_root/share/local/menus/*.menus

You mean to edit the code itself? right? Ya, but I'm adding my tool to Mentor Artist Link menu which is using encrypted functions (geaAdms...). Do you think there is anyway to customize these menus while they're encrypted?

Added after 57 minutes:

At last I found all the information about the submenus by the ->? or ->?? operators They were exactly what I need Then I was able to use the hiAddMenuItem or hiInsertMenuItem

I add my customized menu and submenu into Encounter by writing a Tcl/Tk script, and source it when I start the software.
