Now not sure if its possible at all and haven't seen the ability on other skins, but ill ask anyways.
Is it possible to enable context menu options on widgets?
This would be great for a few reasons like the ability to have a movie widget and be able to bring up the context menu on the widget to view the Trailer, or add to library, or add to favorites, etc. Would be a helpful feature I think. Any thoughts?
I don't think it's possible in the way you think. There's already a legit context menu available on widgets, but it's limited from Kodi's side. Krypton made some improvements, but it's still not very good. Only those context menu entries that are universal are shown when on the widgets. So when I right click on a movie entry (In Cinemas, for example), all I see is Play, Information, Rate on trakt, and Mark as watched.
The Play feature ought to play a trailer when you don't have a copy on the HDD, but only if the widget entry has a youtube id embedded inside, which in most cases they don't. In order to fully use this feature, one would have to define special context menus for widgets, which only Kodi can provide. Either that, or edit the context menus of add-ons in order to make them universal, so as to appear in the widgets context menu...

The skin itself has no custom-made widgets. Everything that's available is there thanks to either the Skin Helper Service, ExtendedInfo, or Library Data Provider add-ons. From your comment, I'd say that what you need should be located in the Default Widgets/Playlists, or Default Widgets/Library Data Provider. Provided, of course, that you have the add-on installed.

You don't. This was changed a long time ago, to reflect the change in the original skin.
