It works for me in SBCL. Neat, thanks!

However, I'm puzzled as to why you decided not to name the callback and
remember it. Is there really no way to release the memory occupied by
the trampoline code and let the closure be GCd when it's no longer
needed?

In my case, this is going to be a problem. If you generate a bunch of
callback-lambdas for each context menu appearance, you will soon end up
with lots of them in memory. If there really is no way to release them,
I'll probably have to think of a different approach (with dispatching
functions, I guess, as Martin suggested).
