Many file managers provide ability to setup"custom commands" or"custom actions".
If the operation is a commandline"one-liner", you can probably define it right within the file manager.
For more complex operations, you might define the action so that it launches a script or program instead.
A custom action can pass commandline arguments like %f (a single filename) or %F (multiple, currently selected, filenames)
