Is it possible to invoke a context menu using a left-click?

I'm using CKeditor 4, and have a context menu that works perfectly well.  I want to be able to invoke this context menu when a user left-clicks on a particular element.  I've tried numerous things, but simply cannot invoke the context menu.  The following JQuery code did everything except invoke the context menu:

$(document).click(function(e) {
        if((e.target.nodeName == 'TD')||(e.target.nodeName == 'TR')||(e.target.nodeName == 'TH')){
                var tid=$('#'+e.target.id).closest('table').attr('id');
                if(tid=='mytable'){
                        //$('#'+e.target.id).trigger({type:'mousedown',button:2}).trigger({type:'mouseup'});
                        //$('#'+e.target.id).triggerHandler('contextmenu');
                        $('#'+e.target.id).triggerHandler('contextMenu');
                }
        }
});

My web searches came up with quite a few references to it being impossible to simulate right-clicks.  Can anyone confirm whether or not it is possible to simulate a right-click?  Any suggestions?
