It depends on your concrete requirement. If you want to operate particular HTML element, you can access it via DOM. IMO, you can do everything that WebBrowser can do.

If you want to use the context menu (to avoid writing extra code or to pretend an user operation), you can send a mouse click at desired position and then block context menu popup temporary. Here is my sample code in Delphi for your reference.

function TTrident.ShowContextMenu(const dwID: DWORD; const ppt: PPOINT; const pcmdtReserved: IUnknown;
  const pdispReserved: IDispatch): HRESULT;
begin
  if FDontShowContextMenuThisTime then
  begin
    FDontShowContextMenuThisTime := False;
    Exit(S_OK);
  end
  else
    Exit(S_FALSE);
end;

ShowContextMenu is one method of the interface IDocHostUIHandler. In other words, you have to extend the WebBrowser control by implementing at least IDocHostUIHandler. See also MSDN.
