i dont know exactly how your code is and exactly what all functionality you want in your outline view.
when you are using the outline view (for i think the tree edit parts), you are attaching a viewer also, so if you want to have a context menu for those actions that you have mentioned then you can set a context menu to that viewer. you wont have to do any thing special with the outline view.

i think you just want to manipulate the tree entry in your outline view right? then you dont need to use GEF for this,
if you need the actions to occur on right click then you need to know the following things, roughly...
1. how to create and work with context menu
2. how to create custom actions
3. how to work with dialogs
4. and understanding the model of the tree structure used by you in the outline view.

these all are not very trivial tasks and can be done easily if tried..,
