There are a few good apps around to achieve that, e.g. ThisService.app. You get it here: http://wafflesoftware.net/thisservice/ or use Automator.

Well, not exactly.
I'not an expert in services, but according to what I have read, it seems that in Snow Leopard, the services may appear as CM.
In fact, I used (among other) Symbolic Linker and Path Snagger as plugins in Leopard times, but had given them up because plugins were not anymore supported in Snow Leo. The mailing with you pushed me to look again for those software, and they are now available as services.
And now comes it: I have now installed them in services, and oh wonder: I got a CM named "Services" with submenus of the above mentioned software.
That said, I would really give it a try and wrap the script into a service. You may need to go to systempreferences > keyboard > shortcuts to activate it...
