Imho, It would be nice if a dialog will be pop-upped when ' Add a new launcher ' is selected from context menu,
asking for users to choose a object type among 3 options.
(Or add 3 options to 'Add a new launcher' as a sub-context menu.)

  1. 1 Import from .desktop extention file(s).
a file browser window will be displayed when this option selected.
(current way)

  1. 2 File(s).
a file browser window will be displayed.
'file:///fullpath/to/filename' value will be assigned to 'Base URI' parameter,
Or null (empty) will be assigned to the parameter.
(Currently, 'file://' is missing from the value when new launchers are created by
choosing files(not .desktop files) with file browser.)
EDIT:
hmm... Personally, 'Base URI' parameter with no value is the best.
because launchers for files with .sh extention & without extention do not work if the parameter have a value.

  1. 3 Directory(ies).

a directory browser (Pick up a directory) window will be displayed.
(Currently, It is used only for choosing Icon Themes directories.)

seems a nice idea
for the moment, the best way is clearly to do a drag'n'drop.

yes but that same popup could appear at the time of the drop if the dock has a doubt about the file
