The UI is built from various base widgets e.g. TextControl https://mohoscripting.com/methods/395 and in each there's a reference to "msg" - and that's what's sent to HandleMessage(moho, view, msg) (see https://mohoscripting.com/script_structure). Convention demands use of message numbers as some positive offset from MOHO.MSG_BASE

to answer your specific question about select bone: take a look the code (C:\Program Files\Moho\Resources\Support\Scripts\Tool\lm_select_bone.lua)

Since a popup menu itself doesn't send a message, just clicking on one cannot be detected. You can only detect when one of it's options has been selected.
