What if you simply check the location & state of the selection vs. the
location of the mouse in the view when "menuForEvent:" is called, and
extend the selection manually if needed. Doesn't that work?
Another possible solution might be to hook into "validateMenuItem:"
(see: NSMenuValidation) that is called before the menu pops up.
