Now I see that in the codec detection menu I can choose the "menu" option. That's exactly what I meant.

That's great!  I did look to see if I could auto select an option in the select menu.  The short answer is no, I can't.  The slightly longer answer is that you can with the built-in Kodi dialog, but you can't with the custom one.  I'd rather not have inconsistent behavior between the two dialog types, so you're going to have to select the item from the dialog box you actually want each time.
