Suggestion noted and I will try and think of a better location.

I'm not sure "Open with Transmission" is working right now. The torrent seed gets downloaded (you see the browser dialog briefly) but Transmission is not activated or updated in any way. If you "Save to device" and place the torrent in the right folder, a Transmission dialog pops up (if you have the app open, of course) and then the rest goes well.
Incidentally, I'd had been working on that yesterday and I'm glad to say that I got it working on Transmission running on my N800 (opening from both the File manager (which was fun because it "garbles" the filename sent) and the Web browser).

I'd always been rather lazy and just set up the basics in the packaging for the tablet to recognise Transmission as being able to open torrents. But it had always been lacking the code needed to send the final filename to Transmission, which'd then open the torrent, when invoked in such a manner. Glad to say that yesterday, I finished writing such code.

And on the menus front, I realise I've been a tool and I will convert it to the menu style used by the X Terminal et al. This comes after a realisation that, because, the main window is greyed out when opening a menu, usage of the menu does make it rather odd for being able to manipulate torrents so they'll be moved to the tap-and-hold menu (which, BTW, is now finger friendly) or added as options on the toolbar (which is currently quite bare) and something like this can be used for the, say, sort menu.

P.S: A really big thank you to the people doing the Fremantle documentation. It really helps
