[FIXED] Is there a way to bind functionality to tkinter menu items without using command= option

Issue

Lets assume i have an simple list as follow:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("300x400")

menubar = tk.Menu(root)
menu1 = tk.Menu(menubar, tearoff=0)
menu1.add_command(label="Button1")
menu1.add_command(label="Button2")
menubar.add_cascade(label='Menu1', menu=menu1)

tk.Tk.config(root, menu=menubar)

root.mainloop()

Can i add two different functionalities to Button1 and Button2 that are triggered when they are clicked on without using menu1.add_command(label="Button1", command=func1) and menu1.add_command(label="Button2", command=func2)?

Preferably, I am looking for some solution somehow doing something like these hypothetical solutions:

def func1():
    pass
def func2():
    pass
def binding(Menu1):
    Menu1.Button1.bind(func1)
    Menu1.Button2.bind(func2)

or

def handler(event):
    if event = button1:
        func1()
    if event = button2:
        func2()

menu1.bind(<clicked>, handler)

Solution

You can use the label of the menu item to get the index of it in the menu and then use menu1.entryconfig() to bind a function on that menu item:

def binding(menu, label, func):
    for i in range(menu.index("end")+1):
        if menu.entrycget(i, "label") == label:
            menu.entryconfigure(i, command=func)
            return

binding(menu1, "Button1", func1)
binding(menu1, "Button2", func2)
