Sure,

Currently the grub menu looks like
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.12 (beta)
GNU system, old configurations...

and in the submenu
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.6 (beta) (#1, 2017-12-18 13:45)
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.8 (beta) (#2, 2017-12-22 12:15)
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.11 (beta) (#3, 2018-03-23 15:32)

but I'd like to have something like

GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.12 (beta) [Add ssh-service on port 2222]
GNU system, old configurations...

and in the submenu
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.6 (beta) (#1, 2017-12-18 13:45)
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.8 (beta) (#2, 2017-12-22 12:15) [Add user bob]
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.11 (beta) (#3, 2018-03-23 15:32) [Add xfce]

where the description at the end comes from a field in the operating
system configuration (or the bootloader configuration).
