Yes, it's already implemented: it's called "Nautilus Actions", which is an extension to Nautilus itself — which does the work of exposing extension points for this reason. You can also easily write an extension yourself that lets you add actions to the context menu. Nautilus is already fairly extensible through the extension API, so I doubt upstream is going to add command line switches (which are hard to even know about) for running random actions with random command line arguments. All your examples also seem to stem from a poorly integrated system. For instance: nautilus -addmenu "Edit with gedit" "gedit %1" FILES This is already handled by the application's supported MIME type; I can select files and use 'Open With', and select an application to be the default for that kind of type. The other example: nautilus -addmenu "Extract into folder ..." "p7zip -e %1" "*.7z *.zip *.rar *.tar *.bzip *.gz" Is handled fairly well by using File Roller; also, where would the output for that command go, in case of error? It's better to have a proper application handle this kind of things. If it's complicated to handle on Solaris, then you should probably talk to the maintainer of the Solaris packaging of Nautilus and eventual extensions.
