Drupal 7: Get Nodes representing menu item (title)

I needed to get the node menu item title to display instead of the node title in a specific case and didn't find a quick solution, so I'd like to share it with you:

Wondering how to get the nodes representing menu item?

$nid = 12345;
$node = node_load($nid);
if(!empty($node->menu_node_links) && is_array($node->menu_node_links)){
  $node_menu_node_links = $node->menu_node_links;
  $first_menu_node_link = reset($node_menu_node_links);
  if(!empty($first_menu_node_link->link_title)){
    $node_menu_link_title = $first_menu_node_link->link_title;
    // Override node title:
    $title = $node_menu_link_title;
  }
}
