Thanks.  There is a new function 'thing-at-mouse' with a new arg 'click'
added today that you can use instead of 'thing-at-point'.
You can see an example in lisp/net/dictionary.el.

> diff --git a/lisp/mouse.el b/lisp/mouse.el

The default set of context menus in mouse.el contains only menus
created from the existing non-context menus.  All new context menus
should be added to their respective packages.  So please move
context-menu-occur to replace.el.

Another example prog-context-menu in lisp/progmodes/prog-mode.el also
demonstrates how context menus should belong to the package where they
are used.  And prog-context-menu is similar to context-menu-occur,
so it should have the name prefix of the package: occur-context-menu.
