Does a "you may destroy" or play effect still trigger if another effect destroys the card?

No. Text on a card resolves when that card is played or cast. A 'you may destroy this' option applies only at that time, so a forced destruction does not trigger it (the card would need to say 'when destroyed'). This is why a Nemesis attack that destroys Primordial Fetish gives no life.
