No, in short accelerators on context menus are against Microsoft's GUI
design guidelines so we don't do anything to facilitate their use. Also
since context menu commands should really be on the main menu bar as well,
it usually isn't necessary, though from what you say below I can see why you
would want to do it.

Why not subclass it? You can then replace the view resources with instances
of your subclass.

Sounds good.
