What you could do is something like this:

<DefineGroup name="file_operations" />

That 'allocates' a placeholder at the specified location (for
example in your shell .rc file) .

In your part then you can utilize the group attribute in Actions,
Separators and Containers (Menu, Toolbar, etc.) to specify that an
item belongs to a group and therefore should be put at the place
where the placeholder is defined, much like:

<Action name="foo" group="file_operations" />

Hope this helps :)
