I hadn't really thought of the possibilities for the contextual menu, I really thought of it for choosing a list of snippets to insert after a selection. If it could run commands as well, that would be very cool.
XML sounds like a good way of generating the list, I don't use it that much, but couldn't each 'menu item' have 'input', 'output' and 'action' children to define what it should do?
Would it be possible for you to make a menu that just had a list of snippets at the moment, which could be further expanded in the future? I look forward to any progress in this regard.
Keep up the great work, Max

The problem is doing it in a way that allows for future expansion w/o me having to support to much legacy. So I'll need to give it some further thoughts.
There is also the problem with commands that wants to change their output format at run-time, this problem should probably be solved in the same go.
