I'd still say it were context specific, and depending on complexity of
the application. Do you expect the average web surfer to use your
application or is it someone with domain expertise?
If it's the latter, then right click menus could make sense. That way
you could also probably dictate what browser they had to use etc.. And
they are probably gonna need a course for your application anyways.. And
looking at what you write it does seem like a domain centered thing..
Theres this already at wicket stuff:

Btw I've never used right click menus but this is my 2 cents

Schaper:
I have a data table and for each row that is generated, I'd like to be able
to right click on the row and have actions that I can perform on the row
appear in a popup menu.
At risk of stating the obvious, I feel compelled to point out that
depending on the second mouse button to show a context menu is bad
practice. It's not very discoverable, and moreover, some browsers /
browser extensions block javascript from gaining control over the
context menu under the second mouse button.
For generic pop-up menu guidelines in webapps, please see:
