Both MToolItems and MMenus are model elements. The MToolItem's 'menu' feature is defined in the model so you can just add it in your e4xmi. Is that not working for you?

Currently I do contribute all HandledToolItems directly to 'toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar'. I do not know what contributions are allowed.
This is an excerpt from my fragment.e4xmi file.

<!-- Is that allowed here ? -->

Do I have to add a separate String Model Fragment.  I tried to declare a separate String Model Fragment to contribute to a HandledToolItem itself declared in the fragment, but the Dialog only shows parent element ids from other plugins...

Honestly, I have no idea :-(
