<action-models>

  <action-model id="ClearCanvas.ImageViewer.DiagnosticImageViewerComponent:imageviewer-contextmenu">

    <action id="ClearCanvas.ImageViewer.Tools.Standard.StackTool:activate" 

       path="imageviewer-contextmenu/MenuStack" group-hint="Tools.Image.Manipulation.Stacking.Standard" />

    <action id="ClearCanvas.ImageViewer.Tools.Standard.WindowLevelTool:activate" 

       path="imageviewer-contextmenu/MenuWindowLevel" group-hint="Tools.Image.Manipulation.Lut.WindowLevel" />

  </action-model>

</action-models>

Remarks

Adding an image viewer context menu item can be accomplished by decorating the class of the tool you want added with a MenuAction attribute.  The site portion of the path must be "imageviewer-contextmenu".  To affect the ordering of the menu item in the context menu, do you as you would with any other menu by adding the appropriate entries to the ClearCanvas.Desktop.Executable.exe.config (see this for the significance of these files.)
