- Create a new MATLAB script file.
- Create a new context menu object using the ‘uicontextmenu’ function.
- Add a menu item to the context menu object using the ‘uimenu’ function.
- Set the callback function for the menu item to the script that you want to run when the menu item is selected.
- Attach the context menu object to the current folder using the 'set' function.
Custom context menu in the current folder to open .mat file using a script

I have a script throug which I open some .mat files.
I would like to create a custom context menu in the current folder so that I can select the .mat file, select the custom menu voice and have the file name and path passed to the script which will open the .mat doing some things before and after opening it.
Is it possible to do that? How?
Otherwise is it possible to create an app and drag and drop the mat file to the app icon which will then call the script?

To create a custom context menu in the current folder, you can use the ‘uicontextmenu’ function in MATLAB. The ‘uicontextmenu’ function creates a context menu that can be attached to any UI object, including figures and axes objects.
To create a custom context menu for the current folder, you can follow these steps:
