Possible to right click on an iPad when using with Sidecar?

Is it possible to activate the equivalent to a right click on the iPad when having it connected via Sidecar?

The software I wish to use it with has the ability to right click on my Mac (using the Touchpad), but when I have the equivalent window on my iPad I am not able to right click when using the Apple pencil.

Perhaps there is a setting I need to adjust? Or a secret method?

If this is not currently possible, please Apple can you make it so.

Thanks

Hello,

Yes, dating back to macOS 7 if a user held down the ⌃ (Control) key while clicking the Mac would access a secondary menu "right click". If you hold down the ⌃ (Control) key from the sidebar within Sidecar while tapping the screen with the Apple Pencil then Sidecar will access the secondary menu just like right click.
