Description
In our project, we are adding one context menu item and respective actions against it. I just learned that, when we show this context menu(right click), the context which gets passed is actually different and there is no way to determine from where it has been invoked.
For example,
if we are in "Sprint Board" the context which I get has the workitem id as "id"
if we are in "Detailed View" (dialog view of any clicked item from Sprint board), we get workitem Id as "workItemId"
If we are in "Backlog View", we get workitem Id as array "workItemIds:[]"
Is there any we can determine the board/view, from where it is being called?

Research direction
Start at the SDK.register instance context and compare the context shapes described for Sprint Board, Detailed View, and Backlog View. Determine whether the SDK exposes or can consistently identify the originating board or view; done means the supported approach is documented or the required context information is available.
