long ago I thought about extending this concept by semantically 
separating those addons, that is have them changed into "behaviour" or 
something, maybe reusing the verb thingy found somewhere (B_OPEN is the 
single one for now)...
One could then have 
Open (with) ->
Print -> (it would generate a list of printers or apps to print from)
Compose (for images) -> 
...

just a thought en passant.
