Will try to implement it as soon a I am retired, which is in about 21 years. So please be a bit patient ....

But instead of creating combinations of nodes, "_perhaps_" a UI node could send:

- The _clicked coordinates_ (like we currently do)
- The _bounding box (minX, minY, maxX, maxY) of the element that has been clicked_.

Then you can calculate in your flow where you want to show the contextmenu. E.g. when you want to have the contextmenu to appear in the center of a button, then you just calculate the center of the button yourself. (ButtonNode --\> FunctionNode (calculate the location) --\> ContextMenuNode).

Just a wild idea... Not sure whether this is possible, and no time at the moment to try something...
