My views, I may be wrong though:
Usually, all right mouse button clicks are made to show Contextual
Menus, which means based on the context where the user has clicked,
the appropriate menus are shown. I guess this is a standard Windoze
GUI behavior. Each entity can over ride some methods (we do it through
C++ interfaces in our development) which will show the context
specific menu. I feel it is a good idea to let each entity to decide
what needs to be show when a RMB click is done. The emacs engine must
just identify the entity under the cursor and call it's implementation
of the contextual menu.
with best regards,
