Research direction
Investigate the context menu implementation for equations in the Windows Calculator app. The style picker currently appears as a separate popup; it should be a nested/cascading menu. Look for files related to context menu handling, possibly in the CalcViewModel or UI directories. There are no linked pull requests, so the issue is available for contribution. Understand the current popup mechanism and refactor it to integrate as a submenu.
