/** Extended Host callback interface IComponentHandler3 for an edit controller. 
\ingroup vstIHost vst350
- [host imp]
- [extends IComponentHandler]
- [released: 3.5.0]
- [optional]

A Plug-in can ask the host to create a context menu for a given exported Parameter ID or a generic context menu.\n

The host may pre-fill this context menu with specific items regarding the parameter ID like "Show automation for parameter",
"MIDI learn" etc...\n

The Plug-in can use the context menu in two ways :
- add its own items to the menu via the IContextMenu interface and call IContextMenu::popup(..) to pop-up it. See the \ref IContextMenuExample.
- extract the host menu items and add them to its own created context menu

\b Note: You can and should use this even if you don't add your own items to the menu as this is considered to be a big user value.

A context menu is composed of Item (entry). A Item is defined by a name, a tag, a flag
and a associated target (called when this item will be selected/executed). 
With IContextMenu the Plug-in can retrieve a Item, add a Item, remove a Item and pop-up the menu.
