Sure, easily.

Create an option button and put the menu you want into its contents. Put a corresponding menupick handler in its script. Hide the button.

In the field where you check for a right-click, just use "popup <name of btn>". That's about it. The button script can either execute commands directly ("copy", "paste") or it can call out to a custom handler in the message path.
