I think so, but to make sure I'm understanding correctly, it would 
look something like either of the following options.

Btw, the other menu items I'm showing seem major-mode-dependent. I 
just happen to include what I have for elisp-mode.

Option 1)

Root >

 | Paste
 | Select and Paste >
 | Select >

 | Go Back

 | Go Back

 | Share...

Option 2)

            ----------
            | Share...
            ----------

If we mean 2), what do we call the new top level category? ;)
