Maxscript menu, right click or context menu?

While having fun creating a custom menu with icons, I was wondering if there is an ability to create a right click context menu on a menu item?

 

I want to use Maxscript if possible as that is what the menu I have written is in. I would look at Python, but there are too many issues with both implementations that I am not going to bother until its more stable, documented (properly) and the PySide2 is compliant with the rest of the industry as its currently behind.

 

As our custom tools are on a server and the calls to them are macros in max`s install folder, we sometimes update them and need a way to alert users to restart (not the best choice) or update via a menu item (not really good either as artists just want it updated in the background). I thought there may be a callback function that I could expose to check a folder for change and then update, but a restart is just as sufficient, if a little crude. I suppose I could use a Python thread, need to test.

 

If the context menu its not possible with Maxscript, so be it.
