How to customise Windows Taskbar's Immersive Context Menu (Jump List) for Java application? (Add custom items to it)

I have JavaFX program (executable exe file), when I run it, it has an icon in taskbar (like other normal programs), its Immersive Context Menu has default options:

default Immersive Context Menu

Executing of jar file looks so:

enter image description here It looks like jar file can't have this feature. (Although I have created the ftype association and I can run jar files the same way as exe files by double clicking.) Or can?

I want to customise it – add my menu items like it do other programs.

For example, Chrome and Atom (Electron application):

Chrome Immersive Context Menu Atom Immersive Context Menu

Upd: This feature called "Jump List".

I am unaware of any way for java to change the jump menu. When you run a java file it's actually running java.exe with your jar as an argument. And even when you build an exe file its usually just a bundled launcher for your app. As far as I know in order to add a jump menu you would need something much closer to the metal.
