Context menus in Outlook Web Add-ins

As it seems, currently Outlook Web Add-ins do not support context menus (e.g. the menu which appears when the user right clicks on an appointment).
However, native Add-ins seem to support this (There is a "Send to Onenote" button which appears on Outlook).

This functionality is very useful, especially since Web Add-ins also do not support tasks panes to stay always open. This causes that the user needs to reopen the task pane again and again every time he opens an appointment.

Our use case would be: right click "Take Notes" which opens a Task Pane where the user can take meeting notes.

Looking forward to get the OfficeDev's feedback on this!
Thank you
Lukas

    Having this all over outlook would be great! right-clicking on items in the reading pane, or even on selected empty space in the calendar would be incredibly powerful.
