Hi Wayne,  
  
Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.  
  
Query 1: 
how can one replace the context menus (any of them) with a custom control? 
Currently SfDockingManager doesn’t have direct support to achieve your requirement. 
Query 2: 
this is a general question of 
how can you override the default template for let's say the layout controls? 
 
 
Layout control is a collection of UI elements example : SfDockingmanager contains document tabcontrol and other UI elements, We will club the UI elements which are handled in Code behind, so we are not overriding the default of layout control, we just override the default template of UI elements exist in the layout control

thanks for getting back to me

drilling down on editing control templates i see you have this document https://help.syncfusion.com/wpf/blend-support for wpf

i tried this with a uwp project and there is indeed the option to edit a copy of control templates

perhaps this is really a documentation issue for your uwp offering with a nod towards non-designer developers doing screen mockups and trying to modify control templates
