Can't you just right click?
The fact that the standard model of computing is that applications are opaque machine code blobs that can access everything in your user permission space is the core problem in privacy and malware.  Applications should see nothing but their executable jail, and whatever was intentionally allowed to them by the user (eg, Open file dialog giving the application an opaque file handle, etc, not carte blanche access to the entire filesystem).  Ideally, the notion of machine code blobs should be done away with as well.<p>Mobile OSes got to rethink everything in an era of constant adversarial connectivity and started off on a better foot in this regard.
