Use the app.popUpMenu() function.

Add a script like this to the MouseUp Event on a field. It triggers off of Ctrl/Cmd-Click

if(event.modifier)

{

var cRtn = app.popUpMenu(...);

switch(cRtn)

{

... Process Results ...

}

}

No, that's not possible. You can do it if the user holds down Ctrl or Shift while clicking the field, though.
