> Which terminal is that, and what kind of mouse support does it use?

Terminal: GNOME Terminal 3.28.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.

Mouse support: (xterm-mouse-mode t)

> If you are using xt-mouse, then what you want is already implemented
> in what will become the next major release, Emacs 28.

Yes, I am using xt-mouse. Thank you for the information about Emacs 28.

By "what you want is already implemented", do you mean that Emacs 28's
menu bar will show the drop-down menu when clicked, or would I still
need to add "(define-key global-map [menu-bar mouse-1] ...)" to my Emacs
configuration file?
