Add a widget that allows the user to search for calls in qrz.com without entering the call in the qso input widget

No this was not the intention of my comment on Telegram.
When a callsign is entered manually or is transmitted into the callsign field from wsjtx the qrz.com auto lookup fills some other empty fields. This is all fine.
The 'Tools->QRZ.com tools -> Look up the current callsign in QRZ.com' option does nothing visible (maybe it repeats what the auto-lookup has already done).
In this situation that menu option would be more useful if it did a full lookup in a browser.

Or better still add a context menu option (to the existing menu) when moused over the callsign field to do exactly what the option in the context menu in the log widget does.

The Tool does the same than auto-lookup... so yes, maybe adding another tool to open the browser makes sense.

The context menu makes also sense.

The critical action that is still missing is to easily search qrz.com in a browser for the callsign in the main window entry field.
How the callsign arrived there is not relevant.
Ideally mousing over the field and using a context menu would be best.
