Using ctrl+click solution plus context menu would be very awkward. I suppose
that having an "outline mode" - some button toggling a *dedicated toolbar with
the functions*, and in the same time *activating the popups for the time of the
mode*, would possibly be a better option for discoverability and usability.

Additionally, popping up in a different place could be an option: e.g., to the
left of the paragraph; using only small icons like "+"/"-" and a drop-down for
more options would make the toolbar small enough to fit to left?

What is "left margin of the outline"? any mockup?
