The HTMLElement.contextMenu property refers to the context menu assigned to an element using the contextmenu attribute. The menu itself is created using the <menu> element.
var elementContextMenu = element.contextMenu;
var contextMenu = document.getElementById("element").contextMenu;
// Change the label of the first menu entry
contextMenu.firstElementChild.label = "New label";

[1] An experimental implementation is available via the command line option --enable-blink-features=ContextMenu. Until Chrome 52 and Opera 39 it was additionally available by enabling the Experimental Web Platform features option, but got removed from that due to a Web compatibility issue. Support for this feature is requested in Chromium bug 87553.
