Is there a way to hook into the IDE where before a certain context menu
comes up, an event if fired in my add-in. The purpose is to add/remove
my custom menu items from the context menu (depending on the situation).

How can I hook this up?

Hi Frank,

Nope, at least for add-ins. You have to use the QueryStatus method to set
the menu visible / invisible with the XXXSupported flag
