Am not fully sure what you mean, but here's a trick:
- when right-clicking a link, the link-menu appears
(submenus can manually get added, as you did, either inline or as popup)
- when right-clicking NOT on a link, and some text is selected ANYWHERE on the page, the selection menu appears (name probably "SelectedText")

I mean that when some text is selected(text in a hyperlink), the rightclick menu is not convenient(when the cursor is in the selected area).

Maybe I do not understand all. But:

When the text of a hyperlink is selected for the right click menu You have two cases (maybe even more):

1.) Right click over the link

-> the context menu for that is selected.

2.) Right click on another part of the page (not over the link)

-> another context menu is selected. That is a different menu.

p.s. While text is selected You can also use normal menus.
For example to copy a selected text to clipboard.

The use of normal menu is needed sometimes for example in editor fields such as the mail page at yahoo, other mail services or forums.

对不起,我也没有明白你在讲什么tongue sticking out smiley

我的意思是,如果一个超链接被选中部分文本,且光标在这部分被选中的文本里,右键菜单里应该有针对这部分选中文本的菜单,而不是必须将光标移出选中的文本才能出现这些菜单,现有的做法不够直观,也不够方便

Yes it's not intuitive at all, as so many little tricks. Just minor little probs and known since many years, but only a dev can change the out-of-box configuration.

Luckily users can help themselves in KM, especially with menus:
Open the file "menus.cfg" and add this at the end:

#============== USERCONFIG =========
!LinkPopup{
confused smileyelectedText
}


----------
Or to add it at the TOP of the LinkPopup nmenu, the new line can be placed ABOVE its first submenu, whose name incidentally is "Link" too:
confused smileyelectedText|Link

Important, but not explained anywhere except on kko's personal KM page:
http://home.arcor.de/cool.mckluus/software/kmeleon/project/reference/cfgfiles/menus.html#advanced

To MODIFY a menu, there must be written a ! before it's name, otherwise that whole menu gets deleted first!

Such little user fixes work fine, but suppose it's not perfect enough for out-of-box configuration. Because such 'hardcoded' menu additions show up ALWAYS, whether a text is highlighted or not. And then it looks like a bug too. A dev surely could fix this easily, but we only have 1 and his little spare time should rather be spent on fixing the more difficult bugs, with page display etc.
