How to have the same info on two menus

Another key difference between MainMenu merging and MenuStrip merging is the
fact that items are physically moved from one ToolStrip to another rather
than cloned as is the case with MainMenu.
The above from Help

This hurts. And no clone method.

Anyone know how to have the same info on two menus?

You can use dynamic menus that are generated by calling the same function.

Been hoping for a suggestion and was glad to see yours
But I don't know what it means

By "dynamic" I assume you mean to make programmatically as needed.
That would be perfect if I could do it obtaining the info from an existing
ContextMenuStrip or MenuStrip.

I don't know what "that are generated by calling the same function" means.

I've search and searched the Internet and find my question there many times
but never found where it was answered.

Thanks for ANY help
