Add Open With menu option

Shipped

When right clicking on an item from the Paste items, have a menu item to allow the user to choose Open With and then choose an app to open the captured item. For example, allow me to edit the clipboard item with CleanshotX

    Perhaps have a keyboard shortcut for this?

    @Abdullah Abu Matar There is one: select an item and press Command-O to open it in its default app. The right-click menu shows which app that is, next to "Open with".

    CMD+O doesn’t do anything, and I couldn't find " Open With " in the menu. Check out the image.

    @Abdullah Abu Matar Sorry, our earlier reply was too broad. "Open" and Command-O only show up for links and for files copied in Finder. An image copied as a picture, like the one in your screenshot, doesn't have that option.

    Oh alright. It would be useful to have that. Perhaps it should be submitted as a new idea?
