Good question

I am using Ubuntu Ultimate and they have a bunch of scripts available
on right click -

these are whats inside

$ ls -R .ubuntu-tweak/ -1
.ubuntu-tweak/:
scripts
templates

.ubuntu-tweak/scripts:
Browse as root
Convert image to GIF
Convert image to JPG
Convert image to PNG
Copy to ...
Copy to Desktop
Copy to Download
Copy to Home
Link to ...
Link to Desktop
Link to Download
Link to Home
Make hard shadow to image
Move to ...
Move to Desktop
Move to Download
Move to Home
Open with your favourite text editor
Open with your favourite text editor (as root)
Search in current folder
Set image as wallpaper

.ubuntu-tweak/templates:
HTML document.html
ODB Database.odb
ODP Presentation.odp
ODS Spreadsheet.ods
ODT Document.odt
Plain text document.txt
Pygtk Example.py
Python script.py
Shell script.sh

**
so i think if some one makes a script they can be placed inside this
directory and it should pop up in right click

further on right click i also get some nice other options.

There are also a bunch of scripts at this place
$ ls -R .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ -1
.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/:
2MISCT6N_from_VP.sh
2MISCT6N_from_VP.sh~
Auto Thumbnail
Browse as root
Convert image to GIF
Convert image to JPG
Convert image to PNG
Copy to ...
Copy to Desktop
Copy to Download
Copy to Home
Link to ...
Link to Desktop
Link to Download
Link to Home
MakeGDM
MakeUsplash
MakeXsplash
MountISO
Move to ...
Move to Desktop
Move to Download
Move to Home
Open with gedit
Open with gedit as root
Search in current folder
Set image as wallpaper
Terminal Here
Terminator

In this case the first two are some backup scripts that i have made
(the second one is auto  created backup)

**
how one can copy to move to a removable drive am not sure how that can
be incorporated.

however hope the rest provides an idea
