Oh I see, you are talking about the context menu that appears on some devices. Well, that menu is device/OS dependant and can't be manipulated with JavaScript, there's no API for it. I don't know a way to achieve the behavior you want without (re)doing everything from scratch by yourself. That's definitely not easy (I wonder if it's possible at all, but I might be overlooking things).
