It should be possible for apps to register quick actions with SailfishOS, so that app developers can provide (optional) shortcuts to specific features of their app, e.g. "Add a new task" (e.g. to an app like TaskList). This would improve app user experience a lot.

It is possible! Configuration of quick actions is found
in /usr/share/lipstick/quickactions
and @Andy Bransonhas already made a prototype for a calendar quick action look-a-here: https://together.jolla.com/question/117024/which-additional-quick-actions-would-you-like-to-have/?comment=121018#comment-121018

Great, Sailfish OS is technically super and it looks good, too. Almost resembles my girl friend.

Is it actually possible for an app (not the user) to add a file in there?

You would need to get root privileges for the app to do so.

Ah okay, thanks for the information - very interesting. Not exactly what I am aiming for, though. Providing regular apps with the ability to offer quick actions would boost user experience for apps.

I have already thought of developing some sort of tool to create quick actions. You could make use of sudo, in which respect I just looked up this post: https://together.jolla.com/question/44012/how-to-use-sudo/
OTOH this seems like a perfect job for patch manager.
