Resolution

Right-click actions are defined for only supported "resource types".

The example above in the description section shows that right-click action is applicable to perform only for "Asset" resource type(s).

 

And these CMDB actions can't be performed for other resource types like "Digital certificate" because "CMDB" actions are defined to determine only "Asset" related resource type(s).

We can see that "Digital Certificates" resource type group is another resource type and doesn't belong to "Asset" resource types(s).

 

A simple example is when you are trying to create your own custom right-click action, you must set what exact resource type(s) will be involved for this custom action, so you need to choose a targeted resource type for such action.
