Thunar nested custom actions

Is it possible to create nested custom actions in Thunar?

I am going to be moving from ubuntu 10.10 over to xubuntu 11.10 shortly (I don't like the way ubuntu is headed with unity), but I have to get one thing sorted. I need support for TortoiseHg (http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/). I have tried installing it on Ubuntu 11.10 and it doesn't integrate into nautilus. I am not here because of that.

I have xubuntu installed on a virtual machine and I really like what I see. I noticed that I can add custom actions to thunar. I have added all of the tortoisehg commands that I need to the context menu and it seems to work fine.

I have a couple of questions about custom actions in thunar:

Is there a way to nest those custom actions under a single menu entry in?

Is there a way to have the custom actions only appear if there is an '.hg' directory located in the current directory? I can do it if the '.hg' folder is selected, but I don't want to select the folder every time I need the menu entries.

Is there a better way to copy custom actions from one computer to another besides copying ~/.config/Thunar/uca.xml?

Cheers,
Troy
