You still don't have access to the parent menu from that message.  You would
have to keep track of every item that is being selected, and then if you
receive a WM_INITMENUPOPUP message, you will already have the HMENU for the
menu item who is about to display a submenu, and can store that HMENU
accordingly for later use.

What does that have to do is determining the parent menu of a given item
when it is actually clicked on?  Isn't that what you were originally asking
for?  What you propose will not work, because the HMENU of the item you
actually click on will not match the HMENU of the submenu itself which you
obtained when the submenu was being opened.

I'm getting lost in what you are trying to actually accomplish.  Please
start over and try to explain more details about what exactly you are trying
to do.  Please provide an actual example.
