That seems reasonable to me.  Depending on what you find uglier, you  
could store the menu in the session (effectively make it a global)  
rather than on every component...

Note that the combination of #with: and #text: can always be  
abbreviated:

self anchor
          callback: [self menu selectComponent: ContactPage];
          with: 'Contact Us'
