Add column/content inside menu

Is there a way to insert a content element or the contents of a column into the menu?

I want the menu dropdown to contain it's sub-pages, as normal, but also have a featured area that can be edited on occasion.

Eg. the menu Item 'Fruit' will list sub pages "Apple, Banana, Orange" but then after those have a featured picture like say a Banana with a bit of info under it. Then next month edit the feature to be an Apple.

If it was only a picture I could use the page resources tab, but I require some text as well...

In your TypoScript setup, use an appropriate stdWrap-enabled property. There are stdWrap, stdWrap2 and many other properties that have stdWrap enabled. On those, you can use cObject, preCObject, postCObject and probably some more to insert arbitrary TypoScript content objects, including a CONTENT object to fetch the content. If you want to fetch the content element with ID 42 located on page with ID 276, the CONTENT object would look like this (x being the property of stdWrap that takes a cObject, e.g. stdWrap.preCObject):

x = CONTENT
x {
    table = tt_content
    select {
        uidInList = 42
        pidInList = 276
        languageField = sys_language_uid
    }
    renderObj {
        // Insert rendering definition for the content object here,
        // or leave the entire property renderObj out if you want the
        // global rendering definition
    }
}
