Just add an event handler for the 'rightclick' event on the map
object, and when it fires, pop up an infowindow containing a form in
which the user can input the desired information. When the user
submits that form, create a custom overlay at the lat/lon that the
click took place, with the desired text.

The lat/lon is passed to your event handler in a MouseEvent object:

Then send any information you want to save to your server side script
in an Ajax call.
