If you want a random application to do this, I think you may be out of luck.
The only "hook" we have -- as far as I know -- is the print driver interface,
and that's farther down the chain than you need. The GDI doesn't have any
notion of file or filename, only graphics commands, and even the support
for dialog boxes in a print driver is only about setting options, not any
handle on anything like a filename.
I don't believe there are any other generic mechanisms to let you intercept
an application's menu this way.
Sorry :-(
