Description
When user opens an ISO image, ask if he wants to burn or mount it.
If he wants to mount, make it look just like an inserted disc (CD/DVD) or plugged USB pendrive.

We have gmount-iso, it does exactly this, is in the repositories. You can then right click and iso, choose gmount, select mount point then click mount and done.

No asking questions after the doubleclick but in the right-click menu it would be nice.
gmount-iso or whatever is unnecessary. The normal mount command can mount isos.
On the other hand isos are also archives and can be opened like that. This is easier, because it does not need the extra permissions, that a mount command needs. And for most (not all) uses it is as good as mounting them.

For me gmountiso could be included by default. For Ubuntu and Xubuntu.
The problem is this: inexperienced users don't know not even what is a mount point and how make it. For some applications is necessary to make it on /media/cdrom*, don't everybody know this and some applications can to give some problems.
gmountiso may be give an "automake cdrom mountpoint" (option enabled by default), it creates automatically the first /media/cdrom* available after the CD/DVD Unit/s installed on the system (fstab) and use it for mountpoint.
Or load the iso image by means of MTAB like an USB FLASH DEVICE or like others removable device.
Goodbye.
