AFAIK it is already there, since you just have to put the scripts in your 
~/bin directory and register this-or-that application to use it. For example, 
when I double click on a .tex file, xftree runs the following script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
`latex $ARGV[0]`;
$ARGV[0] =~ s/\.tex/\.dvi/g;
$ps=`dvips -f $ARGV[0]`;
$ARGV[0] =~ s/\.dvi/\.ps/g;
open PS,">$ARGV[0]" or die "cant open $ARGV[0]";
print PS $ps;
close PS;
`gv -scalebase 2 $ARGV[0]`; 

And if I want to edit the file, I select "open with" from the menu and choose 
my favourite editor.

If I want some kind of program or script to be in the "open with" options all 
you have to do is to register it with some kind of file type.
Doesn't this take of scripts? Maybe we should start a "useful scripts" section 
for xfce as a separate directory in the CVS tree?
