Dunno whether they still do, but didn't Mandrake do this at one stage?

I want to -> Surf the web -> using Epiphany
                             using Konqueror
                             using Mozilla
          -> Read email -> using Evolution
                        -> using Kmail

..etc? Or something like that? I liked that. I thought it was a good
way to include both. It is an extra layer of sub-menus, though, and 
I can't remember whether there was a "using default application" thing
at the top.
