Bug Description
This is a feature request.
The Unity launcher in Ubuntu 11.04 supports a quicklist on each launcher where the launcher is right-clicked and gives a list of 'actions' to perform related to that application (usually the same command, with different switches, but it can be another command entirely). They can be customized by editing the .desktop file and adding/modifying the X-Ayatana-
This request would be to add those additional entries to the context menu on launchers in Docky, similar to how the Zeitgeist helper displays recent and popular entries.
I attach a sample .desktop file I made, although the default Ubuntu 11.04 install comes with plenty of examples in /usr/share/

For now at least, I'm tossing this over to DockManager.
Note that Docky 3 (which is in development, missing about 50% of docky 2's features and generally you dont want to use yet :p) supports this already. I don't think I will add this to Docky 2. But if DockManager supports it, then Docky 2 will (via DockManager helpers!).
