I don't think we can do that with all toolkits, because once Emacs pops up the menu, the toolkit has control. In any case, C-mouse-3 is a kind of prefix key, and we never display help for prefix keys, we always wait for the user to type the complete key sequence, which in this case includes menu selection. > Observed behaviour: > > A context menu pops up and in the echo area, "Describe the following > key, mouse click, or menu item: C-down-mouse-3-" is displayed.

You need to select one of the menu items by clicking on it, then you will see the help for that item.
