I answer with a general remark:

  Whenever you see that the Zope management interface does something
  you are interested in, you can learn how it is done by
  looking at the DTML source that built the respective management
  page.

In your case, this is "OFS/main.dtml":

  <SELECT NAME=":method" ONCHANGE="location.href='&dtml-URL1;/'+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
  <dtml-in filtered_meta_types mapping sort=name>
    <OPTION value="&dtml.url_quote-action;">&dtml-name;
  </dtml-in>
  </SELECT>

"filtered_meta_types" is a list of registered meta type objects.
A meta type object has attributes "name", the meta type,
and "action", the associated constructor.
