This is just an idea, not deeply considered.
I've just found that tooltip is created by Emacs itself as a
special `frame', not using any toolkit. Then, how about
creating menu-bar and pulldown menus also by Emacs itself?
The immediate benefit is that we can display any non-ASCII
characters in the pulldown menu of Edit->Select and Paste.
In addition, perhaps the user interaction can also be
programmed by normal keymap. The demerit may be that the
look&feel will be different from the other toolkit
applications.
