According to awamwang@e8e2913 you should use contextmenu instead. Docs should probably be updated

See #5330

These modifiers do not work for click because the click event does not actually fire for right clicks and middle clicks. Instead, contextmenu and auxclick are fired respectively.

This can be confusing so I've implemented a normalization in the compiler that transforms click.right and click.middle to the respective equivalents. Unfortunately, auxclick is not supported universally, so we have to use mouseup instead, this is not perfect since it would fire even if the click did not start on the element, but it's close enough and a dragged-middle-click seems an extremely rare operation.
