For example I right click drag a file and when I release it,I get
Copy Here
Move Here
Create shortcut here

Is there is a way to add my own menu

Just my opinion but I can’t see how it would be faster than:
Ctrl + Drag - Copy
Shift + Drag - Move

And I think the shortcut is
Alt + Drag - Hold Alt, then drag a file, folder, or program to another location (like the desktop). Windows automatically creates a shortcut instead of moving the item.
