[FR] add an option to open Junction in right-click menu #152

I'd much prefer using Junction as my default app picker, over Gnome's default 'Open With...' UI. I've set Junction as the default app to open many file types on my system, such as most image formats, PDFs, web links, and more.

The trade off is that only sometimes I'd prefer to open an image in another programme other than Gnome's Image Viewer. In which case I'd have to interact with the default 'Open With...' UI. My current set up launches Junction first, from which I more often than not pick Image Viewer which takes many unnecessary clicks in most cases. I still prefer this setup for the seldom times that I do want to open an image in another app, in which scenario I much prefer interacting with Junction much better UI.

I'm not sure if it's possible for you to add an option to override Gnome's default file picker with Junction (oh that would be my dream!). But I suggest you add below the 'Open With...' option in the right-click menu, an 'Open in Junction' option, so that users could open any app using Junction without having to set Junction as the default app for all file types.

I suppose this is a possibility because I've multiple extensions that injected options into right-click menus in Gnome, such as the 'add to desktop' extension. Screenshot from 2024-07-09 14-57-25

Thanks for this lovely programme though, it's visible it's been made with love.
