Yes, after you drag the file in the catalog, right click and go to properties and in the location field edit in the following way. The syntax is:
load "file path and name";

for example if you have a script called myscripts.xys in XYplorers script folder then the location field should look like this:
load "C:\Program files\XYplorer\Scripts\myscripts.xys";

you must enter "::load ..." and not "load..."

Yes, for those who dont have this tweak (Tweak: set to 1 to detect script in AB without ::) enabled, you have to use :: before load. I am sorry to not have mentioned that in the first place.

Where would you have expected information about this? (I'm trying to improve GUI/Help...)

Personally i think that when you do properties->edit location ...
There should be a button to load script which would add the line
::load script.xys;

or even easier add an action on click for load xys.

i have the same idea as carmenm, i was expecting it to be on the edit item properties while im adding a new file or after i added the file. Or in the insert new item here.

i found something unexpected, while searching for the answer in the xyplorer help guide, the code: xys>::load <curitem>, i read this in the help guide, and used it in customized file association, i only used one script, and used it on different filetypes, like txt (shows the text inside), rar (freeze xyplorer if its big), exe (shows text).

heres what i did.
1.zer0's remove extension.xys code
"Remove Extension" rename e;
2. customized file association - new - xys>::load <curitem>
3. drag remove extension.xys to catalog
4. properties set to - open item
5. select any file
6. click on remove extension.sys on catalog
7. see pop-up text
