I guess you can use the predefined OnHovered-event for a button.
Then make a boolean for “isRightMouseButtonDown” somewhere, preferably in Player Controller.

Then you draw some Blueprint:

OnHoverd-event
Branch with isRightMouseButtonDown
If true
Execute whatever you want to perform

OnMouseButtonDown => MouseEvent => IsMouseButtonDown => RightMouseButton

that doesnt work unfortunately it returns with false, despite pressed right button (though the event triggered correctly)

seems we should use GetEffectingButton instead of IsMouseButtonDown, that works properly.
