I want my app to be able to act on files which have been

documentation on how add extra menu items to the icon's
dock menu.
Tim,
there is no need to do anything. If your application advertises its
document types correctly (check out the "Target Settings" for your
application in Project Builder), it will simply work, through the
same channels that double-clicking its documents in the Finder does,
and that are used when the user drags a file on your app's icon in
the Finder.
If it doesn't work, you either erred when specifying the document
types, or the Finder hasn't picked up the change yet. In the latter
case, there are some ways to make the Finder realize there's a new
app. In that case, try to copy your app to the "Applications" folder,
and log out and back in again. Sometimes simply duplicating it and
deleting the old one after that is enough.
