Description

It would be nice if a user right clicks on a selected overlay that a context menu would pop up. Specifically it would be nice if the context menu had a Delete command. Right now its only activated by DEL key when selected with no visual cue to do so.

To do this we'd need OverlayService to track selection events and right click mouse events and popup a context menu plugin if appropriate.

On a related note, currently, the menu system architecture requires a separate plugin to be defined to declare it as part of "the context menu." See DuplicateImageContext for an example. We should seriously consider whether this is really the best solution for context menus.

Properties is another useful context menu command. If the user right clicked on an overlay it can run that dialog. Otherwise it can run Image Properties dialog.

We should have "Delete", "Delete Reference", and "Properties". At least one user has mentioned in the ImageJ mailing list that trying to figure out how to remove an Overlay is difficult.
