Allow addons to add "right click extension icon" actions. However because of browser limitations, I think only about 5 addons could do this at the same time.
We should also consider allowing addons to add menu items when right clicking inside the Scratch website.

perhaps they could go under a drop down kinda thing? (if the amount of items is the limitation your talking about)

I believe there's a limit of 6 or so items per menu, we could probably work around this by making every addon have its own submenu but there would still be a limit of addons that can have a submenu, and so on...

maybe the user could decide what submenus are there/which addons are in each menu

Yeah. It will only become a problem if many addons decide to have submenus, tho.

What addons are expected to be in the context menu?

Edit: If it's too many then we can cut it down.

None, at the moment

The bitmap copy?

No, that only works with Ctrl+C. If it did work with the context menu, it still wouldn't use chrome.contextMenus - its actually Scratch's custom context menu.

Ok

contextMenus is now in the manifest's permissions array, so as of v1.2 any addon can use chrome.contextMenus from its persistent scripts.
