Carbon supports the ShowMenuAction for the standard views that
support context menus. However, iTunes doesn't use any of those
views. Most of iTunes's interface is implemented via custom views,
which require mostly custom accessibility implementations. iTunes
would need to augment those views to support the ShowMenuAction.

access the context menu? Or is there no possible method?
There's the ShowMenuAction. UI Elements that have a context menu are
supposed to support this action - which should bring up the context
menu.
The implementation isn't perfect because it's hard to know for sure
(from Cocoa) when there is a context menu. File bugs in cases where
it doesn't work - but often, those bugs may need resolving in the
app itself.
When it comes to iTunes, this might all be moot since it's
a Carbon app. I'm not sure if Carbon supports the ShowMenuAction.
