At least when using native menus, we do not seem to be able to detect that:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/859a0942630b74c73da4929a32e9f280f8c3b94a/src/vs/platform/menubar/electron-main/menubar.ts#L580-L582

For custom menus, I am not sure if we have logic to detect option or middle click, maybe @sbatten or @benibenj could advise.

We only get two types of events from the menu, Click and Close.

For the Click event we only get the itemId: number and context: IContextMenuEvent

export interface IContextMenuEvent {
    shiftKey?: boolean;
    ctrlKey?: boolean;
    altKey?: boolean;
    metaKey?: boolean;
}
