Adding right click option to a frame in Tkinter Python

I am trying to make a simple explorer with tkinter python and I want to add a right click option to the files and folder buttons like copy, cut, delete, etc.
If somehow I can add a frame to wherever the user has right clicked then I can place all the buttons in that frame.
This is the file.
Please help and Thanks in advance.

Here is an example Tkinter file that has the features you're talking about:

import tkinter
from tkinter import *
  
root = Tk()
  
L = Label(root, text ="Right-click to display menu",
          width = 40, height = 20)
L.pack()
  
m = Menu(root, tearoff = 0)
m.add_command(label ="Cut")
m.add_command(label ="Copy")
m.add_command(label ="Paste")
m.add_command(label ="Reload")
m.add_separator()
m.add_command(label ="Rename")
  
def do_popup(event):
    try:
        m.tk_popup(event.x_root, event.y_root)
    finally:
        m.grab_release()
  
L.bind("<Button-3>", do_popup)
  
mainloop()

Implement it as you need
