Gmail addon forward multiple messages without using filter

in my company environment auto-forward vial gmail filter has been deactivated by admin for security reasons. However I am in the situation of having to forward multiple emails on a daily basis. So I thought I program a little addon that can help me.

The workflow should be:

  1. select multiple emails in the main window (manually)
  2. open widget / add-on in the sidebar
  3. enter email addresses to forward to
  4. press send

While I am able to create a widget in the sidebar via CardService. I struggle to "grab" the selected emailthreads in an array or List, so I can loop and forward.

My question: After pressing "send" I need to grab the selected mails via AppScript code, like

var selectedMail = [email1, email2, ...]

Could anyone please help me to kickstart this? Thanks!
