10 years ago Ubuntu was created an appMenu package to interact with application and separate the main menu of application in a global menu. Like i know, this is not supported by gnome shell or cinnamon. There are not a way to interact with the ubuntu packages from gdbus, so i can not be sure about how can be do that without a hard support.
The true it's this not seem to be something that interests gnome or cinnamon yet. Both projects have yet general things to do before make an specific thing.
In general this will be complex and i don't see a solution for that, unfortunately.

10 years ago I'll have to look into that. I will have to look into implementing something like the windows right click menu. I would round this applet out nicely.

9 years ago I also see that Gda is called to be installed like an a Debian based distro, without check the existence of apt-get. Will be good make a checked for the existence, and throw a message if not. I'm also working on an a general installer, that could do that on the future.

9 years ago Hmm good thoughts letscape. Do you have anymore suggestions for more features in cinnamon that could be added? I think I have most of the above covered. I don't have the status part added but not sure if that is feasible.

9 years ago I really don't have any, i was thinking that add this could be really difficult, but you found the way to do that relatively easy and is excellent also!!!

9 years ago Maybe add an "open with" sub menu... like this: https://github.com/lestcape/Configurable-Menu/commit/699df6826d8506d6f8bc21d3048fe6be88be19a0

8 years ago Alright I think is implemented. closing now.
Currently, when I right click any of the launchers in the applet, it shows New Window, Move to right workspace, Visible on all Workspaces, which is really good.
In some of the applications, there are other tasks possible. For instance, in Firefox, other tasks such as Open New tab, Open Incognito Windows can also be done by the user (option available in Windows).
Not sure if am asking for too much / if technically feasible for an applet (api support, etc) but thought will suggest after seeing the feature in Windows. Application also should communicate the available options for itself, I believe. maybe you can discuss with Cinnamon team as well.
I have put together some screen shots (googled) for illustration. As is shown below, one can do the following: Tasks, Pinned, Open Recent documents, etc.
