Hi Martin, Does something like the following not work for you?
NSTextAttachment *attachment = [[textView textStorage] attribute:NSAttachmentAttributeName atIndex:charIndex effectiveRange:NULL]; if (attachment)// Possibly check it’s of the kind of attachment you want to handle, too return myCustomMenu; I just did a quick test and this seemed to work fine with an image attachment. (As I say, I override -menuForEvent: for Tiger support, but I do pretty much the same there, only having to do the extra work and convert the event's -locationInWindow to an index manually.)

I guess I need to look at this again. It seems like the elegant way to go since I only support Leopard and above.

The context menu that appears has two additional menu items: "Import > Image" and "Capture Selection from Screen".
