There are at least a couple of ways to approach this. The way that is
used by the KAT/Collaborative demo, and I think the event-responding
TFrame subclass that Peter referred to, has a Tweak context menu that
appears in the local user area, outside of the replicated island, that
communicates to the related object in the island.
There is also a TMenu class (or something like that) that was
contributed by Qwaq that is not used in any demos I am aware of. It
brings up a menu inside the replicated space and visually inside the
3D space, so it would appear for all participants. Which one would be
the better approach?

P.S. I am currently spending my play/development time on yet another
approach, but it is far from ready for prime time. Beware Error 33.
