In fact you can already do this for the context menu for the *main node* 
for several file types - if you customize the context menu (Options 
dialog) and put the desired action at the top.

(Technically: DataNode.getPreferredAction() defaults to using the first 
element of getActions(false), so DataNode subclasses which override this 
method to hardcode a particular action should preferably be changed to 
not do so.)

However this technique is not applicable to other nodes, such as Ant 
target nodes. It would not be a lot of work to make the target context 
menu configurable by users, but would require (1) introducing some sort 
of API for where this information is stored, (2) introducing a UI to 
configure it (and where would you expect to find such a thing??).

This would indeed be nice in general, so please vote for
