In your card or stack script

ON mouseDown pMouseBtnNum
    IF pMouseBtnNum = 3 THEN
        IF word 1 of the target = "field" THEN
            IF not(the locktext of the target) THEN
                popup btn "contextualMenu"
            END IF
        END IF
    END IF
    pass mouseDown
END mouseDown
