Admittedly, this is *really* non-standard HCI - do people think it would confuse people too much, or have suggestions on a better way to do it?I don't have another suggestion. To my mind this is a great idea
I asked on Cocoa-Dev how one might do this, and they had no idea whether the Cocoa and Carbon menu APIs could even do this. A couple of other ideas that came up would be to have the context-menu for the folder itself have a list of items, so it would look something like this;
Delete Folder Get Folder Info Cmd-I Rename Folder .. --------------------- [bookmarks in folder]
Selecting one of the bookmarks would bring up a dialog that would have the Delete, Get Info, etc options..
Another idea would be to have the folder clickable as usual, but if the user brings up the context menu, or presses the Control key, have each item turn into a submenu that would have them items (like the "key select" menus in the Expose panel - I assume you can change the titles and contents and add submenus and such)
