Why do you need it? I ask because variables names are out of interest at run
time. You can identify the menu item by the reference. Or, you can add menu
items to a Hashtable and use an expressive name as the key.

As Armin mentioned, you can do this by storing (name, reference) pairs
in a 'Hashtable'.
