Yes, and I'd also like that this is split (patch-wise) a bit so that
we do not have to use all or nothing now.

I.e., add context menu for existing actions and wire it up to right
click, that on it's own is a nice feature and doesn't needs anything
else mixed in.

Then add the new info thingy and add it only there for now.

Then rework a few of the existing actions out and add a (possibly
slightly filtered) fa-bars trigger-able menu there). IMO while the
other ones are relatively clear, this one has the most potential
for different opinion and UX workflow design and I'd not like to
being forced to rush that if I want the other (above) features now
already.
