Yes, you can do this in the Windows version.  

HOWEVER, THERE IS THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM:

If you multi-select tasks and use the Properties pane to assign contexts, 
any differences between the two tasks' existing contexts will be lost.

EXPLANATION:

Suppose I have two tasks, Task_A and Task_B. 

I want to add context @Urgent to both of them.

Task_A already has a context assigned, @Home.  

Task_B has no contexts assigned yet.

If I multi-select Task_A and Task_B, and try to assign them the @Urgent 
context in the Properties pane, both Task_A and Task_B will get both the 
@Urgent context, BUT...  Task_B is forced to pick up the @Home context.  
Or, if you un-select @Home, it will disappear from Task_A, too.  

This is decidedly un-elegant.  Most professional-grade programs would have 
a grey check-mark (or something) to indicate that *some* of the tasks have 
the context, but not all of them do.  

A work-around is to assign a hotkey to the context @Urgent, but this is 
cumbersome and can be impractical.

There are many cases where one might want to select 10 tasks and assign 
them all a certain context, but to maintain other existing differences in 
the contexts.

To be honest, this has annoyed me for years.  How do I submit a 
modification request to the programmers?

I also really wish that there was an option to not have children inherit 
their parent's contexts!!
