Dear list,

I have an NSTextView which support dragging files in, either to create a link 
to the file, or to add the file as an attachment. So far so good. 

Now I want to offer the user a context menu to perform operations on the 
attachment (open, save, etc). So far I was unable to find a way to intercept a 
'right-click' on the nstextview to offer a custom context menu. What I did get 
working is the single left-click version by implementing 
textView:clickedOnCell:inRect:atIndex: in the text view's delegate. In that 
method I create a context menu and show it at the mouse location using NSMenu's 
popUpContextMenu:withEvent:forView:. That works, but with one problem. The 
context menu that appears has two additional menu items: "Import Image" and 
"Capture Selection from Screen". So I have three questions:

1) Is there a better way to achieve what I want?
2) Where do these additional menu items come from? Are they services?
3) How could I do this with a right-click instead of a single-click?

I have another question about attachments, but I'll post that separately.

Thanking you in advance,

Martin
