Would you consider it a sensible feature-request if Nemo in an rclick menu for a marked-executable file grow a "Run from terminal" choice which does that very thing you have it do there? Double-click launching has been broken now since I believe at least Mint 18.

March 15, 2025 - If an application is installed in the system, we can run it by providing its filepath as the zeroth argument in the command-line. For example: ... The command above will open Krita if it's installed, because if it's installed an executable file will be created in the /usr/bin directory. That's what we're executing here. Note: on Linux, filepaths are case-sensitive, which means /Usr/Bin/Krita or /USR/BIN/KRITA won't work as that's considered to be a different filepath. Bash can execute a program by name if it's inside one of the directories listed in the $PATH environment variable, which includes /usr/bin by default.
