What would you like to see?

The freedesktop desktop entry specification has the possibility of defining "application actions". It's a way of defining other secondary actions in the context menu, to change the default behaviour of the application, by defining optional exec keys.

The relevant documentation can be found here under "Actions": https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s11.html

As far as I am aware, Cinnamenu does not have this functionality. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks. This is on my todo list but I can't promise when I'll get around to it.
