How to right click on a element and select a option in chrome browser in selenium

I am automating a page, where i want to right click a element and then click "Save link as.... I am able to right click on the element but not able to select any option. Below is the code I have written, but instead of selecting a option it actually clicks on that element. 

WebElement elementq =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'fedev.docs-gmail.JPG')][@class]"));
      Actions builderq = new Actions(driver);
    builderq.contextClick(elementq).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
      builderq.build().perform();

Below is the HTML:

<p><a class="icon icon-attachment" href="/attachments/download/15535/fedev.docs-gmail.JPG">fedev.docs-gmail.JPG</a>  
  <span class="size">(100 KB)</span>
    <a data-confirm="Are you sure?" class="delete" title="Delete" rel="nofollow" data-method="delete" href="/attachments/15535"><img src="/images/delete.png" alt="Delete"></a>
    <span class="author">Asim Sarfraz, 25 September 2018 08:24 AM</span>
  </p>

Too big as a comment so publishing as an answer.

As per your question you wanted to contextClick(element) and select Save link as through Actions.

It is worth to mention if the context-menu-list had been implemented as a native context-menu-list we could have solved that pretty easily. But as per the HTML you have shared it seems the context-menu-list is Chrome Browser's native context-menu-list.

As per Chromedriver does not send keys to context menu:

  • contextClick(element) goes to the renderer process.
  • It is a limitation in the way ChromeDriver simulates key presses.
  • Can be termed as a bug or a limitation of ChromeDriver's architecture and we have to wait till the issue is being resolved.

If your aim is to download the image from the web page, instead of right click you can download the image with url directly. 

WebElement elementq =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(),'fedev.docs-gmail.JPG')][@class]"));
String imageLink = logo.getAttribute("href");
String fileName = url.getFile();
URL imageURL = new URL(imageLink);
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(imageURL.openStream());
OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(fileName));

for ( int i; (i = in.read()) != -1; ) {
    out.write(i);
}
in.close();
out.close();

Try to solve it using Robot object:

Actions builderq = new Actions(driver);
builderq.contextClick(elementq);
builderq.build().perform();
Robot robot = new Robot();
int REPEATS_OF_VK_DOWN_INPUT = 3;
for (int i = 0; i < REPEATS_OF_VK_DOWN_INPUT; i++) {
    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN);
    Thread.sleep(500);
}
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
Thread.sleep(1000);
