We Need Context Menus ala Windows!!

It would be nice in addition to the various info screens along the right side of the screen if there were also right-click context menu navigation system that would pop up when you click on an empty section of space. The menu would cascade into various things for example all your planets listed in ascending or descending scale in terms of distance from the point clicked and be able to switch or see current building projects and perhaps launch ships as well; another example for ships by class and see them listed in cascading menus also in order of distance from the point and one would be able to assemble a fleet at the point clicked from the ships selected in the context menu.

The info screens are nice but sometimes I just want an even quicker and more efficient way to get at all my stuff. Lets say a ship or starbase is under attack. I simply right click on it or near it and can get a list of all my nearest planets and ships in a context menu, then I should be able to multiselect ships and tell them to assemble and attack and the point I clicked to get the menu in the first place.

My first reaction is to agree. Yet when thinking about it, I get definite premonitions of mixing up the 'right click for Autopilot' with the 'right click for context menu' and driving myself mad.
