Keyboard shortcut for Menu items with duplicate names?

Hi,

I see this has been asked in the past with no answer; I'll try again. I want to create a keyboard shortcut in Pages for the "Use Default" menu item, under the Baseline submenu. Problem is that the keyboard shortcut panel in System Preferences has you type the name of the menu item, and there is at least one other "Use Default" in Pages, in the Ligature submenu. What can I do? What I hoped I'd find was a syntax for specifying the full path, like "Format > Font > Baseline > Use Default".

thanks,
Rob

As I didn't want to bother what terminology to search for, I just tried a few different things and had it working again in Mountain Lion.

Intead of ">", I used "->".

Example (tried with success in Adium) : Display->Delete
