Sharepoint: hiding Approve/reject element from item's context menu.

Question

Is there a way to hide "Approve/reject" item from item's context menu on Sharepoint? I don't want to disable approving at all, because it will delete "Approval status" column for example - i only want to hide this item from the menu. There is a node "HideCustomAction" available in CustomActions.xml, but I don't know if it can be of any use here.
