Is there a way to make right click report to the terminal instead of
opening the context menu (preferably only when the terminal actually
has mouse reporting turned on)? I saw there is an option to make
Control-click do this but I couldn't find anything for right click.

Remove the right-click -> context menu binding in Prefs > Pointer > Bindings. It’s there by default to force the context menu to open even when reporting mouse events.

Great that works. I didn't realize that removing that would still keep the context menu for non-mouse reporting applications. 

The context here is that emacs 28.1 has added new right click menu support, so I want to be able to do that. Plus it looks like I can still force the normal menu with right click by holding Option.
