What we need
A proc that when someone right clicks, instead of calling the normal context menu, will give a list of all the objects they right clicked on.

Why we need it
This function isn't currently possible to do in the language because when someone right clicks on their screen, dream seeker takes into account the appearances of every object. So if an object is shifted into the location where they right clicked that object will be activated and an object shifted out of that location wont be.

Use Case
To make custom context menus of equivalent quality to Byond's own context menu, we need to be able to get the right clicked objects that takes into account where the appearance is located.

I think the problems with Byond's own context menu is well known (in particular a bug that makes it far slower to open than it should be) which makes a custom one limited primarily by ping along an appealing choice if it can match the functionality of the inbuilt one.


This would make a great addition for 512 if feasible.

(I believe this has been discussed in other context menu issues but has never been given its own)
