Implementing "Open With" Context Menus in PyQt6 — Query your Linux desktop for available applications and let users choose how to open files

I'm finishing an application that has a custom context menu with "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" working. I can't seem to get an "Open With" option like you see in file explorers. Depending on the file type there would be different options — so I don't think we're talking about predefined lists, but rather something extracted from the host OS. Any help with "Open With" would be greatly appreciated.

How to Show a QMenu Title in PyQt6 — Adding visible titles to your context menus using QLabel, QWidgetAction, and other approaches

If you've ever tried to set a title on a QMenu in PyQt6, you've probably noticed something frustrating: calling setTitle() on a menu doesn't actually display a title on the popup itself. The title property on QMenu is used for something else entirely — it's the text that appears when the menu is added to a QMenuBar (like "File", "Edit", etc.). When you show a QMenu as a standalone context menu, that title is invisible.
