Why not? It should work. I have made a small shellscript packed as an
AppDir called "MakeISO" that will take a directory and make a cdrom
image of it (with the directory being the root on the filesystem). This
script is on the SendTo menu for inode/directories.

Then I have a script called "BurnISO" which I put in the SendTo menu for
cdrom-images, and it does (guess what) burn the image to CD.

That sounds more like a task for the windowmanager.
