My current solution is to include information from the right-clicked line in the popup menu items, e.g. if the line included a person's name, the popup menu items would include the name as part of their options, like "Show details for Peter Haworth".
I tried framing a line in a scrolling list field a while back but had a hard time making it work well. The circumstances were a little more complex in that I was framing a vraiable number of contiguous lines, some of which might not be visible. I used a rectangle graphic and tried to position it around the lines in question but I seem to recall it wasn't straightforward figuring out the exact position of the lines in pixels so I could position the rectangle. Seems like a way to refer to the rectangle of a line in a field would be useful. Of course, it wouldn't surprise me if there is such a thing and I just don't know about it!
