you can’t when the field is editable.
If you put it in a non-editable state, you can probably do this.
Then you’ll also need to code the rest of the stuff you want to do with this field…

I only get the context menu in the frameworks edit mode.

I already have the functions that I want to bind to appropriate context menu entries.

That’s correct, but these are the default options which you can’t alter.

When you put the field in a non-editable state, you can attach a method to the right-click property of the field.
In order to show a popup menu, you have to use the window plugin.

	var _oSource = event.getSource();
	var _oMenu = plugins.window.createPopupMenu(), _oSubmenu, _oItem;
	_oItem = _oMenu.addMenuItem('My First Option',myCallbackMethod);
	_oItem.enabled = true;
	_oItem.methodArguments = [arg1, arg2];

	_oMenu.addSeparator();
	
	_oItem = _oMenu.addMenuItem('My Second Option', myCallbackMethod);
	_oItem.enabled = true;
	_oItem.methodArguments = [arg1, arg3];
		
	_oMenu.show(_oSource);

_oMenu.show(_oSource);

Some of the context menu entries, I only need in edit mode. For example, it is only allowed in edit mode to upload a media.

It’s part of the field type.

That’s why there’s a property ‘enabled’ on each item.
You can set that based on your own conditions.
Another option is to leave the item out base on the conditions.
