Hmm... The only way I can find for doing so is:

Configure Dolphin --> Context Menu --> Download New Services --> Download New
Stuff window --> contribute your own --> open KDE store website --> create
account on KDE store website --> confirm email on KDE store website --> log in
to KDE store website --> click on user icon --> Add Product --> (go through a
seemingly rather complicated process of setting up an addon there, which is
*far* more complicated than it needs to be for just executing a single command
for one user) --> back to Configure Dolphin --> Context Menu --> Download New
Services (again) --> search for the service you just created --> download it

While it may technically be possible to do things this way ... this process
seems a bit unnecessarily convoluted if you're just trying to do something
simple. And it seems to require making your new addon publicly available, which
could be just cluttering the store with things so specific they're only
relevant to you personally, or it could possibly even have privacy concerns, if
the command you need to run includes private information.

That seems far from ideal to me. It's a reasonable process for adding a new
Plasma widget or desktop theme, sure ... but far too complicated to just get
Dolphin to execute a console command.

It would be much nicer and simpler to have one of those list items in the
Context Menu settings be "Run Command:" with a text box or popup or something
to enter your command into. (And a new blank "Run Command:" entry added
afterward.)
