Depends on the file manager. I use Caja which is fairly ancient, and supports this, so I expect newer file managers to support it too.
For PDFs, something like this might work (note: not tested)
#!/bin/bash
pdftk $@ cat output output.pdf verbose &> /tmp/output

Not sure if zenity is x-platform; what I did do once when I needed to select multiple files was have the shell script sit in a loop calling zenity, appending filenames to a variable, and then display a confirmation with a "Process" button before performing the actual processing.
ISTR using zenity for display the file selection dialogs, the confirmation dialog and a progress indicator while processing.

Yeah, I just needed something temporarily for the operators to use during a build process. Wasn't going to need network access, nor did I want to add in a new dependency by using Python or something.
