Summary:
A picture is worth a thousand words:
(https://i.ibb.co/hcBXd7V/Mouse-Down-Up-Global-Event-Issue.png)
Details:
Instead of using "Get Mouse Button Up/Down" actions, I need to use Global Events (Global Transition>System Events) for Mouse Up/Down for Right Click over States and it seems that MOUSE DOWN and MOUSE UP global events are working for left click only and I don't want to mess with Unity's Inputs.
Is it possible to have seperate Global Events for Mouse Down and Mouse Up for Right Click only?
Reason:
I don't want to use Mouse Over>Get Mouse Button Up/Down which Mouse Over seems to me a clumsy approach for Mouse Down events (Mouse Down shoots the event once, but if I do same thing with Mouse Over, it resets the State Event chain before it finishes especially if FSM transitions take more than a frame, thus Mouse Over is not useful and having Mouse Down working for Left click is limiting us in design)
Thanks

You can make a new FSM that handles the input (generally a good idea), where you listen for the right mouse button and then send a global event. Then you can start your current FSM with that global event.
(your picture doesn't show up)

But there will be multiple objects that would listen same Global Event. Thus I fear it may confuse all objects with same Right Click with that approach.
In my approach, only a specific gameobject will open Tooltip UI when clicked on that gameobject only. MouseDOWN/UP Events work, but I need their Right Click versions. (MouseOver works too, but there are occasions where I don't prefer using MouseOver often, there is danger it resets the State Machine to beginning MouseOver state before State transitions finish)
Thanks, I fixed the image too, it seems I couldn't make "Insert Image" work so I used Hyperlink function now.

Okay, that seems by design from Unity, see here (https://forum.unity.com/threads/onmousedown-for-right-click.7131/).
You can use the Input Manager, too, and in PM the get button down actions in a one state that listens for both inputs (each wired with a different event to your two existing states).

Yes it (https://forum.unity.com/threads/onmousedown-for-right-click.7131/) is unfortunate to see.
I did that way, it didn't work efficiently in same FSM with other inputs, but it worked good under different FSM which is dedicated for listening Right Click only (MouseOver>get mouse button down-Right to open the UI, same state get mouse button up-Right to close the UI). Thanks for your suggestions.
The Feature request I did for Having Mouse Up/Down Global Events with Right Click still exist, which I hope it will be very handy than need to create action chains or seperate FSMs to work with.
