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.
