Like a right click context menu? How would that work? Are you suggesting catching the right click event and not popping the normal browser context menu? I always find that ugly and not what I want, but I suppose I'd be open to being convinced otherwise.
I'm not normally in favor of the right-click in Web apps either, although I suspect more than a small part of that is my developer hat talking (not wanting something to keep me from getting to the right-click browser menu).
As long as it's not trapping right-click for the entire page, and it's confined to specific, obvious parts of the UI (the Collection Selector, the lozenges), I think it might be workable.
We got fairly consistent commentary from the FLOSS Usability Sprint that a context menu could be really helpful for certain common actions. Granted, it's UX people talking, not normal end-users, but the feedback was pretty universal.
