From Bugzilla Helper:
BuildID:    20010922 (I think--not in Mozilla right now)

Allow the right click menu to have the option "Open in sidebar" for movies, 
audio files and even pictures.

Reproducible: Didn't try

So you basically want a clone of IE6's Media Bar? Except without the 
WindowsMedia.com links (though I'm sure Netscape would put AOL Time Warner or 
maybe Real.com content there).

I only had IE 6 on my computer for 5 minutes, so I don't know much about it,
although having heard about the media bar that is where I got the idea. I almost
made one myself by putting an url bar in a sidebar, then typing into that the
location of the movie or audio link. But integrating it into the menu is the
hard part.

I did just go a head and put a location bar into a sidebar. If you're curious,
its at www.jasonbohrer.com/tab.html

Of course this is an imperfect solution, but its kind of cool.
