In the mode-line, down-mouse-1 is bound to `mouse-minor-mode-menu'.
`mouse-minor-mode-menu' determines the indicator string you clicked on
and calls `minor-mode-menu-from-indicator' on it.

So the presumably easiest way to do what you want is to advice
`minor-mode-menu-from-indicator' to pop up a different menu for certain
indicators.
