@sharon Context-menus via plugins are coming soon to ParaView. [This post](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/adding-a-context-menu-to-paraview/6344) describes the mechanism being added to allow user-provided menus. It will allow plugins to omit ParaView’s menu if needed, although this may not be advisable in all cases.
