iOS 14 Context Menu from UIView (Not from UIButton or UIBarButtonItem)

There is an easy way to present a context menu in iOS 13/14 via UIContextMenuInteraction:

anyUIView.addInteraction(UIContextMenuInteraction(delegate: self))  

The problem for me with this is that it blurs out the whole user interface. Also, this only gets invoked via a long-press/Haptic Touch.

If I do not want the blur, there are action menus. As shown here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/menus_and_shortcuts/adopting_menus_and_uiactions_in_your_user_interface

This seems to present without a blur, yet it only seems to attach to a UIButton or a UIBarButtonItem.

let infoButton = UIButton()  infoButton.showsMenuAsPrimaryAction = true  infoButton.menu = UIMenu(options: .displayInline, children: [])  infoButton.addAction(UIAction { [weak infoButton] (action) in     infoButton?.menu = infoButton?.menu?.replacingChildren([new items go here...])  }, for: .menuActionTriggered)  

Is there a way to attach a context menu to a UIView that invokes on long press and does not present with blur?
