I may not be following this thread fully and be off the mark. 
I can usually best get the proper context menu in a browser window when
I Tab into the Element, then press the Applications key.  For instance
Tab to the desired link, then pressing the Applications key brings up
the proper context menu for the link I want.  I do this every time I
want to download a MP3 file to select Save Target. 

I have also used JAWS Scripts to navigate through the DOM of the page,
find the Element with JavaScript syntax, like GetElementByID, move focus
to that Element, and then you can right click on the Element.  This is
all done through object variables defined as JAWS script variables set
using JavaScript methods or properties.  If interested in this approach
I can provide more details.
