  An "AC" menu, ie. one with its Source field set to Adventure Creator, is drawn using Unity's OnGUI system. IIRC, this is drawn last in the render sequence - even after post-processing.

  Switching the Menu to rely on Unity UI, and then playing with the Canvas's Render mode, should allow it to be included in the post-processing. I'd recommend testing with a simple Unity UI Image (not linked to AC) first, to see if this is possible.

  If necessary, you could indeed do it with a sprite above the speaking character by hooking into the OnStartSpeech custom event. Maybe rather than spawning a sprite, simply have the sprite in the scene, and attach a script that positions it above the speaker:

  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;
  
  public class SpeechBubble : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      Char activeSpeaker;
  
      private void OnEnable ()
      {
          EventManager.OnStartSpeech += StartSpeech;
          EventManager.OnStopSpeech += StopSpeech;
      }
  
      private void OnDisable ()
      {
          EventManager.OnStartSpeech -= StartSpeech;
          EventManager.OnStopSpeech -= StopSpeech;
      }
  
      private void StartSpeech (AC.Char character, string lineText, int lineID)
      {
          if (character != null)
          {
              // Show
              activeSpeaker = character;
              GetComponent <SpriteRenderer>().enabled = true;
              transform.position = character.GetSpeechWorldPosition ();
          }
      }
  
      private void StopSpeech (AC.Char character)
      {
          if (character != null && character == activeSpeaker)
          {
              // Hide
              GetComponent <SpriteRenderer>().enabled = false;
          }
      }
  
  }
