Well, there are keyboard shortcuts for those actions. If you are going to raise a submenu from the toolbar, then that would be no more efficient that raising the main application menu and choosing the action from there.

Probably the development effort would be much more than the advantages, but i have always asked myself why no one is using such kind of trick into mobile devices.
Like Opera Mobile? To be honest, I have found that to be one it's more irritating features. No matter how precisely I tap on a link/button, Opera Mobile nearly always forces me to tap it again after zooming in. It's the new 'clippy'.

However, it is possible to do it, though it would require some more features of QtWebKit to be exposed to QML (which I intend to do anyway). It can be done by intercepting the tap and performing a hit test to check what content exists at the position where the tap occured.
