I'm noticing that the properties provided via the click event on a menuitem
element and the show event on a menu element do not indicate what element was
interacted with in order to trigger a context menu to be used. Consequently,
one has to use a workaround by adding a listener to the contextmenu event- this
does not appear to the most graceful solution.

For an implementation of this workaround, see http://pastebin.com/7kS8tu2W

My preferred solution would be a property on both events that indicates the
element that triggered the context menu to appear.
