I have an idea, give me 10 minutes...

EDIT: here we go...

Untar openfile and paste the binary in /usr/bin
Then create your .desktop file.
Here's an example:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.13
Type=Application
Name=Image
Exec=openfile '/path/to/image.jpg'
Icon=general_image
For open folders you can't use the default filemanager.
But FileBox can do this.
Here's an example:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.13
Type=Application
Name=DCIM
Exec=filebox '/home/user/MyDocs/DCIM'
Icon=general_folder
Attached Files
File Type: tar openfile.tar (20.0 KB, 146 views)
