this seems to be a sort of pg thingy, but i'd approach this like this:
- have a triangle somewhere
- detect mousedowns on this
- when i get one, display a menu [popup/contextual, doesn't matter]
   this can be prebuilt, or built on the fly
- let the user interract with the menu
- if there's a menu result react to this
- if not go back to usual business

the question is then where to display what the user chose from the menu, 
that is up to you.
bbedit uses a system like this in the find box, it displays the most 
recent terms that the user has typed in the 'search' field.
