Have you found ways to monitor things and call them over your menu?
my way actually goes over batch files but thats not really perfect.

res.bat reads the output from scrnres.exe and writes that in Res.rc

Code:

@echo off & setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
cls
scrnres.exe>res.dat
set "Res="
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('more ^< res.dat') do (
  if not defined Res set Res=%%a
)
echo [exec] (%Res%) {"plugins\reschanger\res.bat"}>res.rc

reschanger menu includes Res.rc

Code:

[submenu] (ResChanger)
      [include] ("..\plugins\reschanger\Res.rc")
      [separator]
      [exec] (res up)               {@changeres up}
      [exec] (res down)            {@changeres down}
      [exec] (res reset)            {@changeres reset}
      [separator]
      [exec] (set 1024x600)         {@changeres 1024 600}
      [exec] (set 1024x768)         {@changeres 1024 768}
      [exec] (set 1152x864)         {@changeres 1152 864}
      [exec] (set 1280x600)         {@changeres 1280 600}
      [exec] (set 1280x768)         {@changeres 1280 768}
      [exec] (set 1280x800*)         {@changeres 1280 800}
      [exec] (set 1280x1024)         {@changeres 1280 1024}
[end]

finaly you have a line in your menu that looks like:
[exec] (1280x800) {"plugins\reschanger\res.bat"}

you can use that method for many other infos:
ex/int ip
weather info
etc...

feel free to post other examples in batch or python or everything else
