Swift/XCode how to add a global/safari context menu item?

I have a macOS application and I would like to add a item to the safari right click menu to send information to my app, here is a video from another app that shows the feature better:

https://carbon-media.accelerator.net/00000000001/dEv3sUX6NeDdQWQ1HnrbwL;1920x1080.mp4

Is it possible to do this from a normal app, or do I have to package/create a new safari extension app? if so, is there any tutorial I can use to package the safari extension into the main app so users don't have to download it twice?

Many thanks

So apparently there is no magic behind it, the way new versions of safari extensions are built are via embedded targets in normal xcode projects, I followed this tutorial and already have something working:
