Adding modifier key equivs to *contextual* menus (in Safari, so a hack..)?

   I'm wondering if there is any way that key equivalents can be  
added to contextual menus (if they are showed on screen with a  
command click, instead of just temporarily with a real right-click).   
Furthermore, can anyone think of a way to insert something like this  
(if possible) into Safari (into the link contextual menu - I want a  
key-equiv for Download file to..") using an APE.  True, it would  
likely break on the next Safari release, but I am NOT going to  
release this to the general public..

   The contextual menus aren't in Safari's nib files, which makes it  
much harder, and Safari itself looks like a Carbon app, which might  
make it harder still to find it in the code.  But if it is something  
as simple as changing a string like 'Download file to' to 'Download  
file to/D', then it seems doable (but I don't know how the Carbon  
Menu Manager routines deal with multiple modifiers.
