So how do you add things to the context menu?

I just installed eXoDOS and i noticed there are extra things added to the contet menu when you right click on the game.

I tried googling but didn't find anybody talking about how to do this, but noticed other people have extended menus as well: 

How can add extra entires like that? I can add additional apps but that's about it.

I can't attest to eXoDOS menu items being added, but the right-click menu items shown in your link is from an older version of LaunchBox.  Those items are still there, they've just been stylishly moved into submenus.  Namely EditMedia, and File Management.

Are there specific items you'd like to see when right-clicking a game that aren't available?

@Opus132 eXoDOS and C64 Dreams both add items to that menu by creating LaunchBox plugins. It's not something you can do without coding a plugin to do it for you. Plugins only allow you to add other items to that menu though, you'd not be able to move/remove existing items from it.

I see. 

That's too bad i liked the idea of having links to extras, documents, trailers and misc stuff like that right in the context menu like eXoDOS does. I can use the additional apps option but it's not as clean.
