An example of such menu is mouse-buffer-menu bound to C-<down-mouse-1>
where the user might wonder what do these menu items with mode names mean?

Using a text property would be a good solution. Should then
the NS-specific "Select" title be removed in menu.c
when the title has a special text property?
