I found multiple references in that direction (file and folder context
menu), but those files where supposed to be stored elsewhere (likely also
why a test with right-clicking a whipped-up html document failed).

Which was definitily not what I was-or-am after.

I had imagined/hoped that I would be able to get a menu of actions when
rightclicking a .desktop shortcut (especially on the desktop).    Alas,
another great idea unceremoniously put into the ground.
