You can use contextMenu  
[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/perspective-component-properties#contextmenu](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/perspective-component-properties#contextmenu)

The easiest way is to add an item to the context menu.  
`props.META.contextMenu.enabled : true`  
`props.META.contextMenu.items : etc.`

Hey thanks for the headsup.  
I tried using context menu and message handler, it worked as expected.
