I don't think it's possible . You set the names of the drop-down menu items in the manifest file... and I don't think it's possible dynamically - OriEng
hmmm ok then can i display all the targets in task pane from webservice ? and when click on that it open the new popup or new task pane ? - Madi
or just suggest what wud be best option .i have to change all design then . maybe just static one item and by clicking on that i shud display all targets in popup aur in task pane ? - Madi
You want to set one static item and then after click to show all of options ? I also think that it's not possible - OriEng

It is not currently possible to dynamically populate the dropdowns, your best bet would be to have a single taskpane action, then render a selector page that dynamically shows the available options, then navigate to the page associated with that option.
