Is there any way of putting blocks into menus?

I'm using the Superfish menu and I'm wondering if its possible to create fat menus, where the drop down not only displays the current menu tree but other information like images, lists, or any other information.

I think the easiest way for doing this is through blocks. However, I'm not exactly sure how to put a block into a menu link without hacking Drupal. If all else fails I might have to write a module, but curious if anyone has already tackled this before.

Hope this makes sense.

To see an example of what I'm trying to achieve:

Couldn't one put the menu, which is a block in the content region or custom region. Enable it on only that node and then reference that node in the menu?

I think what you are asking about are Mega Menus, which are all the rage right now, Forget about Superfish for this, you'll need a bit of jQuery and some aggressive theming tactics (I would suggest to use Views, static blocks etc).

Check this out for a primer: http://bit.ly/c8zHCE
