Menu by itself is a taxonomy in WP. It means that you can find all menus in wp_terms table, by running following query: SELECT * FROM wp_terms AS t LEFT JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_id = t.term_id WHERE tt.taxonomy = ‘nav_menu’; Menu item is custom post type in WP.

wp_get_nav_menu_items would appear to be exactly what you require. It returns an array of menu objects.

This is reported in a Trac ticket. But no problem, you can fill this in yourself, if you also override the display_element() method … Read more
I have a few ideas: Set the custom link to # which won’t return anything Add a custom class to the items and then use jQuery to remove the links. Use a PHP equivalent to the jQuery method Use the Disable Parent Menu Link plugin (or take it apart and write your own)
