How to automate a Chrome extension with UFT

The new version of UFT 12.01 is supporting up to Chrome 36 when it comes to web content.

What about Chrome´s extensions though?

I read somewhere that they cannot be automated.

From the other hand side, when I use developer tools (12) I can identify buttons, textboxes etc.

Is it possible to test a Chrome extension by using UFT?

PS: I specifically try to automate one extension called POSTMAN - Rest Client (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/postman-rest-client/fdmmgilgnpjigdojojpjoooidkmcomcm?hl=en)

UFT's Chrome support doesn't work with other extensions since Chrome disallows extensions being injected into other extensions.

As a workaround you may be able to use UFT's Insight option to automate any technology that UFT doesn't support directly.

Specifically for the Postman extension, this is a simple REST Client. I Assume you want to use it in order to test your REST services rather than actually testing the Postman extension. If this is the case wouldn't a more natural way to approach this issue be to use a UFT API test?
API tests support calling and validating REST services with all the functionality previously available in HP's Service Test.
