how to change sidebar menu content dynamically - wordpress?

I have unique design of wordpress backend and need to implement it. How can I add my own menu items there(see first attached image)? I know how to remove existing menus, but except removing I need to add my own menus. Is there a dynamic way with php to do it? (see image example here)

I tried to add my custom menus with jquery append() function but it is really bad solution. Any ideas please?
