Does multi selection commits all selected commits as one merged commit?

I use git-cherry-pick -n to join few patches into one, or with editing the
result to split one patch/commit into few smaller.

git-cherry-pick [-n] <commit> picks up a commit and drops it on top of
current branch. I'd like to see it in context menu for current commit,
i.e. "cherry-pick to <head>", where <head> will be replaced by current
branch name, or/and "cherry-pick -n to <head>".
