Retrieve the right clicked QPushButton object name in qt

Question

I already have this function to retrieve the clicked QPushButton object name:

void MainWindow::clickedBtnInfo()
{
    QPushButton *btnSender = qobject_cast<QPushButton*>(sender()); // retrieve the button you have clicked
    QString *clickedBtnName = btnSender->objectName(); // retrive the object name from the clicked button
    qDebug() << clickedBtnName;
}

And I checked this website to implement the rightClicked signal.

But I want to know what I can do to retrieve the QPushButton object name which is right clicked.
Thanks.

An edit of how I implement the rightClicked signal:

void MainWindow::onRightClicked()
{
    qDebug() << "User right clicked me";
}

void MainWindow::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e)
{
    if(e->button() == Qt::RightButton) {
        emit rightClicked();
    }
}

And connect like this:

connect(this, SIGNAL(rightClicked()), this, SLOT(onRightClicked()));

Sorry for not explaining my question completely before. BTW, I am just very new to Qt, So hope to get some specifically explained answers.
Thanks a lot.

@saeed I added the code of how I implement that. I appreciate your answers, and I tried your following answers. But those may seem kind of complicated for me to understand and implement. — Theodore Tang, Nov 12 '17 at 08:14
You have connected MainWindow signal and slots , as i understand your question you want to recognized pushbutton right click , the slot onRightClicked will enter when you right click on mainwindow form not pushbutton if you want to handle click and right click of pushbutton you should connect pushbutton signals. — saeed, Nov 12 '17 at 08:21

The link you provided in the question does the right thing. You need to extend QPushButton and not QMainWindow! Simply copy the sources from https://stackoverflow.com/a/15658863/3767076 into your project (if you need both clicks, check the comment below).

After that, you can use the QRightClickButton instead of a QPushButton. If you created your UI with the designer, you can right-click the button in the ui and set it as placeholder for QRightClickButton.
