Similar to right clicking a grid column we need a way to have a custom menu appear when right clicking certain grid cells. For example, in the grid below there are 2 columns I would want to drill down on (Invoice Number and Customer Number). I should be able to right click an Invoice number and a menu woould appear with one option "View Invoice" and open the Invoice screen. If I right click the Customer Number the menu would show "View Customer" and open the Customer screen.
It would be even better if we make this a framework feature of all grid to allow the programmers to decide which columns can drill down. Then in the example below you could right click on any row and have 2 menu options (View Invoice and View Customer). This way the right click flyout menu would show you all the drill down options for the row you select. In some larger grids there might be several drill down options.

We also need to change the *View* button in the grid toolbar to be a drop down like the "Layout" button and have it list the available drill down menu items just like right clicking on the grid. This would allow the user to single click multiple rows, then click the "View" button and see the same "View Invoice" and "View Customer" menu items. Then have it open the Invoice or Customer screen with the selected records in the grid.
