Not sure it is possible, at least not without some hackery.

I wouldn't know where to start though. Sorry.

This is the code thats used to trigger the panel:
<li id="toggle">
<a id="open" class="open" href="#nogo"><?php echo $openPanel ?></a>
<a id="close" style="display: none;" class="close" href="#nogo"><?php echo $closePanel ?></a>
</li>

Since its an id if you want to use it again then you will have to change this to a class and any of the other references in the javascript to a class as well.

eg
jQuery("#toggle a").click(function () {
jQuery("#toggle a").toggle();
});

We used an id rather than a class as it improves performance for the javascript.

Not sure how easy it is to add this to a menu item but you can easily drop it into a custom module and it should work.
