Yes, indeed. It would be nice to be able to provide the same in standard 
contexts menus in an easy and straightforward way. Another thing users might 
want to configure in some cases, is, whether the options for a given context 
(let's say for an image in a web-page) are presented in-line, or in a submenu 
of the RMB-popup menu.

I.e.:

------------
Save image as
Send image
Copy image
View image (filename)
------------

vs.

-----------
Image->| Save
       | Send
       | Copy
       | View	
-----------

All of this would be really easy to switch back and forth, once those four 
options are treated as the options of a certain _context_ instead of just 
four separate options.
