Show ContextMenu on left mouse click?

Is it possible to show the contextMenu on left click?
I need to add icons into the menu and you can't do it in the Dropdown component

[FEATURE] Add ability to add Icon and styling to Perspective Dropdown items

I'd like to be able to add an icon (with position: left, centre?, right) with colour / styling into the items of a dropdown menu list. I have a dropdown list where an operator can select items to produce. If the item has already been produced, it will have a check next to it, but they will still be able to select it to make it again. (sounds a bit odd, but that's the requirement)

No, there's not. I floated the idea of handling the Context Menu in the same way we do Tooltips, where each component has functions like requestContextMenu and dismissContextMenu - but it never gained traction.

requestContextMenu and removeContextMenu both exist and function similarly to how requestTooltip and removeTooltip behave. So I believe you could set something up to call and remove a context menu from a script called from a left mouse click
