Hi Michael, As a designer I would not put any actions exclusively into contextual menus accessed through right-clicks in a web app. However, as a user I can say that I have been finding myself sometimes attempting to right-click in web apps that I use. As browser-based apps begin to feel more like desktop apps, I see the line blurring in my own use.
One particular web-based system that I use and am thinking of in this context is Wufoo. This is a web-based form builder that allows drag-and drop creation of forms (and more importantly has an excellent management and processing system for forms). In this environment I have sometimes attempted to right-click without thinking about it. My view may be counter to a lot of the other feedback, but moving forward, as web apps become more sophisticated and similar to desktop apps in look and feel, it may be beneficial to add right-click contextual menus functionality. Although I would always provide more traditional web-based options as well for the same actions.
