So, my idea is more like having a "context menu" for every playlist, similar to right-clicking on an object in Windows

Interesting idea. The reason that this menu appeared directly after choosing the playlist is that some of the things on the menu are a lot easier to do at the point of playlist building rather than later. Even so, it may be possible.

Of course, any settings made in the context menu won't be persistent.

like the "current call" menu on an Nokia 6110 mobile phone.

I have one of those phones (well the Orange version anyway) but I've never used that menu. Maybe because it's difficult to use the phone when it is welded to your ear during a call.
