Like a right click context menu? How would that work? Are you  
suggesting catching the right click event and not popping the normal  
browser context menu? I always find that ugly and not what I want, but  
I suppose I'd be open to being convinced otherwise.

I'm imagining a text link that reads "Create collection" above the  
current <hr> style seperator. I think that that would make it pretty  
clear that a new collection is being created.

+1, another reason I think this should be in the collection details  
dialog.
