Answer 1

I think that is you looking for:

Just add JavaScript script which finds menuitem with id="MSOMenu_Restore" (inside specified webpart if so) and modify it's onmenuclick attribute according to your requirements. jQuery helps you!

Don't happy, be worry...

Answer 2

I found a solution for what I was looking for, while doing it I found few things about SharePoint, I am not sure if they apply everywhere but I found them interesting enough to share,

•  Click events cannot be attached to verbs in menu items.
• There were times when I found that I can select elements by using pure JavaScript rather than using Jquery [I am still confused why this happens].

Well solution turned up to be pretty simple for the question, I used a mouseup instead of click and i could capture it,

      

$('#MSOMenu_Restore').live('mouseup',function(){alert('trexx')});

Thanks ,

Rahul

Now we need to handle the possibility that the user opens the menu, then uses arrow keys and return to select the option.  Is there a peer to mouseup that would handle a keypress? 

$('#MSOMenu_Restore').live('keypress',function(){alert('foo')});
$('#MSOMenu_Restore').live('keyup',function(){alert('foo')});
$('#MSOMenu_Restore').live('keydown',function(){alert('foo')});

do not seem to be working.
