There is no value-editor control per se.

foo {
content: value-editor();
}

means: create whatever form control (text field, combobox, list, etc)
that can be used to edit the content of the element which is the subject
of the CSS rule. Of course, value-editor() needs a schema to do its job.

I'm not sure to understand.
[A] Do you want to create your own context menu, which would be specific
to the embedded form control?
[B] OR do you want a right-click on a embedded form control to display
XXE's edit menu?
--> [A] is possible by specifying:
foo {
content: component("your AWT/Swing Component factory here");
}
How to do this is easy and fully documented:
* See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/csssupport/component.html
* See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/styledview/ComponentFactory.html
* See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/styleext.html
--> [B] is *probably* possible by specifying:
foo {
content: gadget("your Gadget factory here");
}
See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/csssupport/gadget.html
Unfortunately, how to develop Gadgets is not documented (and will
probably never be). Moreover in the case of embedded form controls, the
Gadgets created by the factory should use a special technique[*] which
makes all this even more difficult.
---
[*] In fact, the Gadget displays an image (i.e. screen capture) of the
form control and not the actual form control. The actual form control is
temporarily created when the Gadget gets the keyboard focus (Tab to or
click on the Gadget). The actual form control is destroyed and replaced
by its image when the Gadget looses the keyboard focus.
This allows a styled document view to efficiently embed thousands of
form controls.
