Description Gastón Haro 2015-08-12 02:37:22 UTC 
It is already included as part of the *.desktop files standar to have an [Action][1] section. It allows to launch a program under various parameters and have those variants available through a right-click menu.
I think Unity has a very decent implementation of this feature. But we lack it completely in KDE.

Examples under other OSs:

-Unity quicklists:

-Windows jump-lists:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click on any *.desktop file containing an [Action] section as defined per standar

Actual Results:  
Menu pops up no including the [Action] section.

Expected Results:  
Menu shuold reflect the entries under the [Action] section of the .desktop file

Sorry there is a mistake, the web address for the .desktop file reference which describes the [Action] sections is this: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html
