And I do not wish to automatically connect to all of these channels when connecting to a network.
Hexchat offers this via its addon ability. I use it myself and it adds a Bookmarks item to the main menu, that lists channels within server name sub-menus.

The addon is 'bookmarks.py' available here via the main dev's Github repository. Save that file to Hexchat's config\addons directory and restart Hexchat to see it in action (one can also refresh addons while the program is open by going to the Window>Plugins and Scripts settings and clicking 'Reload' while the 'Bookmarks' item is highlighted).

Order of the servers/channels in the menu can be re-arranged arbitrarily as well by opening the addon_python.conf file found in Hexchat's config directory in a text editor and re-ordering the bookmark entries.
