There is no way to trigger context menu and there probably never will be. Context menus are modal, they take away control from users and thus could be used to spam/annoy users.

I'm guessing you need to show some commands in context menu for selected text, so I would try to create a context menu in HTML and send commands via content script instead of using contextMenus API.
