I recently discovered the Meta/Context Menu for the Tree Component and I was wondering if it's possible to use that to add more Items to the tree by using a method. I was thinking of having that as an option for end users, similar to a Windows Explorer ability. Simple example shown: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/e/ce887240e0f6d0736b1ea8604272996470b20cc3.png) ---

Did you ever have any luck on this? I'm trying to do something similar, and can't figure out a way to identify what was actually clicked on ---

You'll have to select the item with a left click first. I don't think there's a way around this. I'd suggest the classic `add` and `remove` buttons instead. It makes things much clearer. ---

Yeah, might have to go with the buttons. Sad story really, makes the whole idea of a context menu option on a Tree pretty pointless.
