A caption context menu makes sense if the code looks at the layout file
for deciding what entries should be offered. Suppose that you have
different captions defined in the layout file, then the menu could allow
to switch between them, for example. No need for any LaTeX code, you
trust the layout for providing the right code.

Agreed, but maybe what Abdel suggests could not be in contrast with
this.
