Thanks, I thought you found a way to determine the x and y coordinates for that button to feed into the context menu. That is what I`m desperately looking for:

A way to anchor a position on the dashboard (like a button, but could be a dummy too, which can deliver the coordinates. It would be perfect if the ui-button node issues the x,y, of the mouse and x1,y1,x2,y2 coordinates of the button area on every press somewhere hidden (`msg.ui_control.x1`) for example. Or a general upgrade to the ui-control node to emit x.y coordinates on every mouse press ("Output: mouse events") perhaps here:

Than would be "universal" solution and only there if needed.

To hum it may concern: "Is this an idea that could be realized? Sometimes?"
