Mac context menu

I am developing a Mac application for sharing files on various social platforms such as Flickr, Facebook, etc. I want to add a share with MyApp object to the file context menu. those. when I (control + click) any file in the file system, I should see a menu item, for example "share with MyApp" in the context menu, so that I can launch the application for file sharing. This requirement and my Question: is it possible and, if possible, how can this be achieved? My application will be compatible with OS version 10.6 and later. I know that there is a tool like Open with> my application name. But I want to show it directly in the context menu.

Thanks, LS Developer

First off, Mac is not an abbreviation.

Secondly, you cannot add directly to the Finder context menu, which is far beyond the Apple HIG. However, you can add a service that allows you to use the shared tool (Services are available from the context menu). You can find more information about OS X services here: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?MakingAppServices
