Launch Items X offers a contextual menu for launching things
Launch Items X v1.1.1. - Launch Items is an easy-to-use contextual menu plug-in which allows one to launch customized applications or open documents with customized applications. It has a graphic user interface called Launch Items Editor where users can add any applications to the menu of Launch Items. [When coupled with the power of AppleScript, this offers a very convenient way to launch scripts and allow them to act upon selected files (only tested the OS 9 version). This might be a good OS X replacement for FinderPop, which will be sorely missed when I finally move to OS X.] [AppleScript Info]
