It occurred to me to try adding the context menu to the item renderer, but I wasn't sure what would happen to the "blank" areas of the TileList, like if there aren't enough data items to fill the entire space... does the list get item renderers with data=null, or are there only renderers where there's actually data? (Trial and error would answer that, I guess...)
I do still need the individual components of the item renderer to be separately clickable - as I mentioned in another reply, I want to do something special when the user clicks on the corner of the embedded image controls. Thanks for your help!
