I can see a reference in the source code to this script It seems that all what you want to achieve is solved there.
http://fooo.org/GMaps/overlay.js The only thing I noticed that it only seems to work in Firefox when Javascript is allowed to 'Disable or replace the context menus'. Then the normal browser context menu appears even when the cursor is on top of the map. If thats not allowed in the preferences it doesn't seem to work, i.e. then no context menu will appear.
