Generally, this feature depends on the client's browsers configuration.
I don't think there you can do much more than telling in your webpage
how the browser has to be configured. In Netscape, right button opens a
dialog window, regardless what kind of link it is...

If they have WinWord, no problem. So, why don't you leave it as it is...
(I'm quite confused guessing why you ask this question. Did I miss
something about what you're asking for ?)
