If you want my advice, I would start by engaging with SSHMenu and it's
developers - it may be that the features you propose might be worth
integrating into the applet they already have, or you may find someone
there who can help you with developing it:

http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/

You may also be able to adapt much of what you currently do to work
with SSHMenu - you never know until you try it!
