`<f1> k [C-help]' crashed Emacs here, but maybe it was not directly
related to that action. (See emacs-pretest-bug, MID

I don't recall an application offering a menu on mouse-3 specific to a
certain tool bar button. E.g. Firefox 1.5 displays the same as <Menu>
<View> <Toolbars> does, no matter at which tool bar position you click
<mouse-3>. But I agree that <mouse-3> in Emacs could do as you
suggest.
