[wishlist] Dash should support "open with" for files

[Rüdiger Kupper]

Here is another "right-click" action for files and folders that I frequently use, that's missing in the dash:
"open with" for specifying the application to use.

Use case:
- I want to edit that pictures of my last holiday trip.
- I conveniently find them in the dashs "files and folders" pane.
- I happily right-click on the icon, planning to select The GIMP for editing
- Surprise: no menu, instead, the picture displays in the picture viewer
- I need to start over
- After getting the same result three times, I think "f..." the dash, use Nautilus, and have my picture for editing in a few seconds.

There are other bug reports / wishes around the dash supporting right-click-actions: bug #662658, bug #667545.
