FWIW, I think a better UI is to pop a menu for a "long press".
I.e. bind it to down-mouse-3 but wait a little and if there's not been
any "mouse-up" event with 1s or so, then pop up the contextual menu.

I think this should actually be provided in core: down-mouse-3 should be
bound to a command implementing this, with some standardized way to find
a contextual menu (looking at local char-properties, and if not
found, buffer-local variable).
