Screenshot showing the contextual menu to remove programmatically

I couldn't find an API to remove the contextual menu that appears when clicking in the top component group header (see attached snapshot).

This contextual menu is not relevant for several reasons:

   - it uses the term of "Documents". This term is domain-specific and doesn't apply to my application

   - it is redundant with the contextual menu options when right-clicking a top component's tab. 

I am aware that I can remove some of the options by customizing the "Window System" branding options, but I cannot remove them all. The "Clone Document", "New Document Tab Group" and "Collapse Document Tab Group" options still remain regardless of which "Window System" options have been removed.

Ideally, what I need is an option to remove the contextual menu, but not necessarily disable the options that this contextual menu gives access to. I can already customize the contextual menu items for top components, why not top component groups ?
