The subject pretty much says it all: can an addon add context menu items to XBMC's standard menus? Does XBMC provide the hooks for this? For example, I'd like to add "Find similar artists" to the context menu when browsing your music library.

Can it be done?

not yet, but there's a pull-request on github that'll add this functionality.
so maybe in the next kodi release...

Is there any news? How it could be done ("More from this Artist")

No
I used:
more_url= "plugin://plugin.video.myvideo2/?mode=mischseite&url="+urllib.quote_plus(musikurl)
commands.append(( "Mor from THis Artist" , 'RunPlugin('+ more_url +')'))
liz.addContextMenuItems( commands )

The same URL is used from another Menu an works. When using in with the Content Menu.
The Function is Called correctly, but the Menu is missing that appears when beeing called by
xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem
so i thought mayby calling an Menu doesn't work.
Adding an Dialog at the end of the Function (mode=mischseite). .works . But the Menu doesnt change
