It is way easier than that and you don't need to upload anything. Here is the
guide: https://develop.kde.org/docs/apps/dolphin/service-menus/

One only needs to create a file with a specific format in a local folder and
then one can execute custom commands from the Dolphin context menu.

This is not exactly what you are asking for, but the upcoming release (I think
in August?) will have a feature so one can set a custom command for
double-clicking the view
(https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/764).

Generally speaking though, the way of creating service menus as described in
the guide I linked is the better way currently. However, there is actually a
service menu for creating service menus in the store page:
https://store.kde.org/p/1952905/ I haven't tested it, but it seems to allow
creating service menus for custom scripts very easily.
