Sure. If you are using gnome+nautilus, simply right click the file
You may choose to directly call your script directly (which *i think* would
result in the script being called in the background) or launch it within a
terminal. Most terminals support launching a command automatically using a
flag (like -e for most xterm variants). So, you can enter something like
this for the custom command:
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e your_script_name
The file is passed as an additional argument to this command.
If this is a frequent operation you might OTOH, want to write a nautilus
script so that the option is shown directly in your right-click menu:
