Adding "Create symbolic link here"?

On the file drag & drop link I'd like to add a menu like "Create
symblolic link here". Is there any program that does this? If not, I
think it won't be that difficult to write a shell extension myself.

No, not the Shortcut, I mean symbolic links new in Vista.

Yep, this wouldn't be too difficult to write. One fairly easy way would be
to write a front end to 'mklink.exe', which is built into Vista.
