It could be cool if there exist a "md5sum" (or some simple hash

What do you mean by "right click"? It doesn't seem to matter on which side of my laptop's trackpad button I click, or on which side of my office machine's mouse I click. :-)

A more platform-neutral term is "context menu", e.g. "in the context menu of a packet".

Note that any UI function available from a context menu should also be available elsewhere, e.g. in a menu bar menu. That one might belong in the "Analyze" or "Statistics" menu.
