...Not directly, but why not do this?

---AUTOEXEC.BAT---
set VAR1=CONT1
set VAR2=CONT2

goto %CONFIG% <-- that has the menu code for the startup option selected


:(MENUCODE1)  <-- these are batchfile labels
REM DO MENU ITEM #1 STUFF
goto fin

:(MENUCODE2)
REM DO MENU ITEM #2 STUFF
goto fin

:fin
cd c:\
