Popup menu with right-click

Question

I am investigating the feasibility of adding "Personalised Menu"
functionality to a Forms application. The idea is that regardless
of what form a user is currently in, he/she will be able
to right click on the canvas to display a list of "favourite screens".
Next, s/he will pick a screen from this list and hey presto will
be navigated to it. There will need to be "Do you want to save
your changes?" processing of course before hopping to the new screen.
When the user right-clicks s/he should see a customised list of menu options:
user "Peter" could have e.g. a menu with options "Screen A", "Screen C", "Screen D";
user "Paul" could have screens E,F,G,J on his list and "Mary" could have
screens A,B,K,Q,R. There will be companion admin functionality to allow
users to maintain the options they want on their personalised menus but
this is easy to code using standard forms functionality.
To simulate the functionality I have created a little PERSMENU form
to display the user's personalised list of screens on a standard
multi-row block.
This is executed via a CALL_FORM in the PRE-POPUP-MENU trigger.
Of course if I use a called form to display the menu options then
I need to check if the calling form has any unsaved changes beforehand.
Which is a bit clunky.
Another alternative would be to add a PERSMENU block to each form
in the application. If the user were to right-click on a form's canvas
the form would attempt to navigate to PERSMENU and then execute_query.
But of course WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM triggers etc could prevent the navigation
and once again the proposal is a bit clunky.
I have been reading the "Popup menu with left click on 10g" thread at
Popup menu with left click on 10g
and am interested in the javabean provided by "Nalin R". Unfortunately
I am new to java and don't understand the code. But this looks to be
tantalisingly close to what I am trying to do albeit with "left-click"
rather than "right-click".
Has anyone attempted anything similar? Am I right in thinking that the
javabean approach offers the best solution and if so is there any
sample code that would help?

public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent me ){
//do what ever you want
});
