Hi, no problem to be late.  
What you need is one or more callbacks injected into ui-table via `msg.ui_control` i.e.

```auto
{
    "customHeight": 18,
    "tabulator": {
        "columns": [
            {
                "field": "expand",
                "headerTooltip": "click to expand more details",
                "headerContext": "function(e,column){ this.send({ui_control:{callback:'headerContext'},position:{\"x\":e.x,\"y\":e.y},payload:column.getFieled()}); e.preventDefault(); }"
            }
        ]
    }
}

```

The function in a more readable format you can define for every column, cell or row ... (this one only reacts on context (right) clicks on the header

```auto
var headerContext= function (e, column) {
    this.send(
        {ui_control: { callback: 'headerContext' },
         position: { "x":e.x,"y":e.y},
         payload:column.getField()
        }
    );
    e.preventDefault();
}

```

there is a `cellContext` or `rowContext` too with slightly different parameters
