CKE4 - elementsPathUpdate & how to target content elements from elementspath?

Greetings. I attach an event to elementsPathUpdate so that I can extend the elementspath. I need to modify the original element that the elementspath points to using the buttons of the elementspath (rightclick brings up menu, menu items do stuff).

editor.on( 'elementsPathUpdate', function( ev ) {
	console.log('elementsPathUpdate');
	
	// I could attach events by using e.vdata.space.$.children
	// OR I could attach the event with jQuery like so
	// either way I don't know how to get to the element
	$('.cke_path_item').on("contextmenu", function(e){
		console.log('Context Menu event has fired!');
		// --- Here I need to edited the content that elementspath represents
	});
});

Any ideas? Any kind of help would be great.
