I assume you can read about really dynamical submenus in the man page.

Here is one way to have a partially dynamical menu you want:

  DestroyFunc ShowTimeTitledMenu
  AddToFunc   ShowTimeTitledMenu
  + I DestroyMenu TimeTitledMenu
  + I AddToFunc   TimeTitledMenu
  + I Echo PipeRead `date +'+ "%d-%b-%Y %T" Title'`
  + I + I "item 1 in your menu" Exec command 1
  + I + I "item 2 in your menu" Exec command 2
  + I Menu TimeTitledMenu

Now, every time you want to show your menu with the current time title,
use "ShowTimeTitledMenu" function in place of "Menu" command.

Mikhael.
