You are on UNIX, are you not?
The context menu for events is fixed and has no API.
However, you can achieve something similar to what you want using the
Options --> Additional Actions menu.
There are several  additional actions supplied.
This allows you to build an underlying script which can be launched by the
user by highlighting one or more events and following through that menu
path.
Details on how you pass the event elements to your script are in the man
page for trapd.conf
While you could update trapd.conf directly,  the preferred method is to
use xnmtrap.  That should prevent you from messing up the syntax so badly
that trapd cores trying to read what you put in.   If you bring that up,
then you'll see a big button on the lower right entitled, "Configure
Additional Actions . . ."

Have fun
