Go to the menu:
  Edit->Preferences->Tools->Commands->Context Action:

And enter this in the box:
    geany-action.sh %s


Then you can create a script named "geany-action.sh" somewhere
in your $PATH and do whatever you want to with it, for example
it could say one of these:

 wterm -e $@
 epiphany $@
 xpdf $@

The script will run whenever you right-click on a selection and
choose "Context Action"


If you need more options you can use a tool like
zenity or gxmessage in your script:
