Also It has A Event "Click to Show Latest" , When user Click on it, indicator will show latest messages. (Image 3) i Made a simple mock up: http://imgur.com/a/8Ea3v
How would a user learn that one single specific menu reacts differently, with no indication whatsoever?
Currently all menus react to right click the same as to left click, where I would say it is expected that everyone uses left click exclusively, in practice. Your proposal would break this consistency. Consistency isn't sacred, but it is only ever to be weakened or broken for a clear benefit.
It is not efficient to have a chat via the menu. If you bring up the chat client anyway, there's hardly any benefit to this special feature at all.
It can even be considered harmful, because it duplicates interface/functionality. That means additional code, testing and documentation, but no additional capability. It means users may end end up wasting time with making a decision to use this or not many times over.
