Currently my LXPanel looks like this:

and OpenBox right click menu looks like:

Is there a way I can sync the LXPanel menu to my OpenBox right click menu so that when I right click I see what the LXPanel menu displays. What I like about LXPanel is that it automatically adds software as I install it and it would be nice if I could just install the software and LXPanel generates the menu and then maybe via a symbolic link Openbox grabs the menu.

Is this possible?

Did you read the two sites that gymka provided? They provide additional information. The thread was marked as solved so it apparently worked for the OP.
