I am afraid that I do not understand the question and the answer.
But, the following behavior is interesting: popup a menu A with an
entry _e which popup a sub-menu B. Popup the menu B, then click on the
entry _e. Then the menu selection does not follow the pointer on the
menu A and its parents neither on the submenus that B can popup (to
activate an entry in these menus just click on it). The mouse pointer
is followed only in menu B. To "dynamically" restore the default
behavior just re-click on the entry _e.
Something like "MenuStyle * PopupOffset -6 100" may help. There are
also others "popup" options to MenuStyle that you would like to use.
