Read a list of menu items from a file in your folder, then use a loop to add those menu items to your menu?
Which bit of that are you struggling with?

If you just want to display the file names you can get a list of all files and display them, when clicking you read that file
Otherwise if you want info like owner name, or other metadata you create a separate metadata file (e.g. something.txt.metadata or whatever extension you want) then you read all metadata files then the correct text file when clicking
