That's what Contractor does in elementary: it provides additional
actions for mimetypes, e.g. uploading photos to Flickr or rendering
SVGs with Inkscape. However, Contractor implemented this vi separate
.desktop-like file for every action.

There's no such thing as "default" Contractor action, though; the user
is always presented a list of actions to perform.
