What is that you want to show in this menu?

If its some kind of actions you can use the recordActionField(). 

Please refer the documentation. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.3/Record_Action_Component.html#record-action-field-with-primary-button-styling use the style parameter to check what is suitable.

You will have to create a record to create these actions and use the function.

While showing related action simply use style as MENU or MENU_ICON.

This documentation will solve your purpose.

Related actions are available only for record types. You can create a record type(unsynced) using CDT and then add related actions to it.

Appian introduced multiple ways to invoke record actions. The three dot menu style is one of them.

This is not an independent component and cannot be used anywhere other than in the context of a record.
