The contextual menu can also be changed through XML config files, if you 
just want to change the menu items, add new sub menus and things like that.

For the builtin content types, you do that in opencms-vfs.xml, for your 
own content types you can do that by modifying your resource type config 
in opencms-modules.xml

here is an example for a custom resource type with custom context menu 
from opencms-modules.xml:

If you find this helpful and get it to work - then please document this 
on opencms-wiki.org. I don't think that this is documented anywhere so 
far and it would help others.

Best regards

Here is my config excerpt - I left out all the normal stuff of the
