Is this possible in Opera: Add a menu item to link context menu to start an external program with link target as parameter

Hi guys,

I have been wondering if this is possible in Opera? In Firefox you can create an xpi in javascript to do this.

First I thought it might be doable with UserScript, but there seems to be no way to run .exe's on the local comp.
Then I thought maybe it could work via a mozilla plugin, but there I don't know how to link into the link-context menu.

My third idea would be to use the Opera Button code which seems to have a "run external app with parameter" command. But I have no idea to use that code in a menu?!

Thanks a lot in advance.
