AFAIK "long click brings up a context menu" was used in macOS some years ago (no idea if it is still used), so it's not a completely new idea. The only existing standard I know for context menus is to use mouse-3, but that clashes with existing Emacs behavior. Of course, we could simply drop that existing Emacs behavior. Stefan
