<DxContextMenu Data="@MenuItems"
               NameExpression="(item => (item as TextFormattingMenuItem).Name)">
</DxContextMenu>

@code {
    List<TextFormattingMenuItem> menuItems;

    abstract class TextFormattingMenuItem {
        protected TextFormattingMenuItem(TextFormatting textFormatting, string text) {
            TextFormatting = textFormatting;
            Text = text;
        }

        public TextFormatting TextFormatting { get; }
        public string Text { get; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }
}
