How to 'Open With' in downloads dock flyout On the dock in Mojave I have a Downloads icon which, when clicked, displays a window type thing with a list of downloaded files.

I would like to right-click on an icon and select the app to open the file with. How can I get that context menu to display for icons in the downloads window?

You can’t.

The stacks were designed to be a quick way to open items in the folder.  If you wanted to do anything more (copy, move, delete, etc.), you needed to actually be in a Finder window, thus the shortcut at the top which launches you into one.
