I found a virtual event to handle this a year or two ago. Unfortunately, all details are on my macOS machine which is 300 miles away, so this is all based on memory (which could be a bit shakey on something from that long ago).

The virtual event was triggered by whatever event normally resulted in a context menu; it was platform independent. I think it was <<ContextMenu>>.

I recall finding it purely by accident; I think somewhere in https://wiki.tcl.tk/. I also recall not being able to find any official documentation. I had a quick look around for it before posting this: I found it mentioned (by name only) in https://sourceforge.net/p/tcl/mailman/tcl-bugs/?viewmonth=201303&page=1; I also found <<Contextual>> in https://wiki.tcl.tk/15406 (although, for some reason, that doesn't sound right).

Anyway, it did work well, and meant I didn't have to write any platform-specific code (at least for that part).

Sorry for the vagueness. Perhaps it might jog another monk's memory who can give a better answer.
