What is the alternative to UiContextmenu when using uifigure?

Hi all,

I have been looking at migrating to the new uifigure for a rather large app I have coded in Matlab (~200 000 code lines). The main issue would be the non existence of Uicontextmenu under the uifigure...

I there an alternative to it? I could not find any in the new "app designer" components...

Thanks for your help!

This is a very valid question! uicontextmenu is available for so long (in normal figures). Creating a new type of figure (with some obscure differences with the "old figures"), specially created for UI's, and then not directly implementing this possibility looks very strange to me. (And uifigures are even not so new anymore.)

UPDATE: Matlab 2020a has uicontextmenu and toolbars for the new app format...

I will migrate things as soon as possible!
