Can default 64-bit items be added to XY's context menu?

I'm finding myself having to switch the

Configuration > Shell integration > Show the 64-bit context menu

on and off repeatedly, when I need to create/explode a lot of zips, and then when I'm done. There's no command I am aware of to toggle this setting (to which I can bind a key).

Is there any way to add specific items to the XY-context menu? This item, by the way, has sub items in a popup. Both the XY and default 64-bit context menus have useful stuff in them, although I mostly want to stay in the XY version.

Disable Configuration > Shell integration > Show the 64-bit context menu.
Enable Configuration > Menu, Mouse, Safety > Custom Items in shell context menu.

Now you have a "Show 64-bit context menu" item in the normal in XY ctx menu.

+ed: You have the best of both worlds! *fanfare*

and,

Only the Open With... menu is customizable. It may be possible to convert 64-bit menuitems to a PFA script, but that depends on the source prog of the menu item (eg, can it be controlled via cmdline?)

Where do these sub-commands come from? They're just conveniences built into XY? Can these sub-items be customized or hooked directly into 7-Zip's context menu?

This is 2/3 of what I want, though, so thanks a lot.

Which ones? those added by XY to the default menu, or those in the Open With... menu?
