For buttons such as <input type="submit">, I'd like to see commands like "submit form in new tab" (bug 17754).  Safari gets this surprisingly wrong, by the way.

For <select>, the expected behavior is to open the <select>, at least on Mac with Ctrl+click.

For checkboxes and radio buttons, I guess a normal page context menu would be reasonable.
