Also relevant:

"BTW the reason why NSMenu did not show up when you do a right-click is because while consuming this NSEvent you are just setting it. If a menu would have been set upfront-it will work"

@jsq @mjtsai As followup to your 2019 🐦 post (1162075093469736960) about right click actions for NSStatusBarButton, where every other right-click leaves a highlight, Chrome is going to need a right-click menu so I looked at it and it seems solvable with a bit of targeted swizzling. See https://crrev.com/c/6125973 for my attempt. I’m doing some testing on older OSes and my reviewers are out for the holidays, but if you still are looking for an answer for the issue this seems like it can be fixed.
