About this last point: The issue that makes things rather puzzling is 
that, presently, the contextual menu mixes items related to different 
objects: Axes, and curves, ...

  * The default object when entering the editor is the current axes. OK
    (but the figure's level is not reachable).
  * After selecting a curve, the menu opened when right-clicking is
    the/Axes contextual menu + newly activated items/, instead of being
    dedicated only to actions /on curves/. Then, it's unclear on what
    some "general actions" like copy, delete, clear... are done: the
    axes, the curve, (then the datatip ?) ...
  * For datatips, imho  it would be more handy to resolve the left
    selecting click without having to activate the datatipManagerMode,
    and then display a contextual menu with actions only on the selected
    datatip, like copying its coordinates.
