Nautilus actions is definatly the right way to go, though you will need to tell it the programs to use for the menu items. If you have some scripting knowledge you can do brilliant things with it (I created a little context menu that lets me mount/unmount my encrypted folders with a nice gui type password prompt)

If your not to great with shell scripting its still easy enough to do things, just need to know what program to call and tell nautilus actions what information it needs to pass on.
