How can I add a context menu to a browser action with a Chrome extension?

So what I'm trying to do is sort of like the "Search Google" context menu option that is already there. only I would like to view the result of this in a browser extension. Is this possible in any way?

You are asking whether it's possible to add your own entry to the menu where "Search Google" appears.

Yes, it is possible.

The docs are here: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/contextMenus

There are also samples available.

I would suggest putting logic in a background page, since popup does not persist and can't have a listener for this event. Then, the popup should request data from the background page as needed.
