Is it possible to display a control from a menuitem?  For instance, say
you want to make a menu item with a submenu.  When you click the
submenu, a combobox pops out (or a canvas, slider control, etc.) instead
of a traditional submenu text option.  Is this possible?

No, and even if it was, you still shouldn't do it. It'd probably be breaking some kind of unwritten interface guideline. It would be better if you could group similar things like that into a dialog box or something. However, you can duplicate the functionality of a checkbox or a radio button group in a menu, so don't forget that.
