As far as I am aware, it is not possible to embed a command list
menu in another command list menu.
You can do that with a Menu Folder command (a new field appears,
called "format keywords" click the binoculars to see a new dialog
which inserts keywords such as "embed"). But that keywords field
doesn't appear for a Menu Show command.
If you want the snips in a separate command list, then you can use
a Menu Show commandlistname command in your main QuickLaunch menu
but you will have to click it, it won't fly out on hover like a
submenu does - as you know because you already tested that method :)

Yes, by calling your submenu a subbar. I just tested this here
and found that if a command list is shown as a menu instead of
as a bar, then a Subbar becomes a Submenu. The advantage is that
you can show the subbar as an independent menu.
Change your StartSubmenu command to
Name: Sn&ippets
Command: Format
Action: StartSubbar
[submenu items here]
Name: EndSubbar
Command: Format
Action: EndSubbar
;; and your hotkey:
Command: Menu
Action: Show
Select clist: QuickLaunch
Blank or use find...: @Sn&ippets
notice I included the "&" from the subbar name in that last line.
That is described in Help, Index, menu *command... *Menu command
(final paragraph).

I am fairly sure there's no way to do that, so you'll have to
edit the Clip FilePaste parameter as well as the Name
in your cloned item.
