Yes, it can.
Valdhor's example works for me. There is something going on with the programmatic instantiation of the menu, it dissapears on click unless it gets recreated in the handler. That is just a bug and not necessary to demonstrate the technique of disabling a menu item.

In your example you create the menu when the user clicks but in my code the menu has already been created globally.
