Quickly Open Web Links using custom contextmenu with selected text as input
Chrome browser extension to quickly open web links, using custom browser contextmenu defined by the user, with selected text as input.
Where QuickOWL can help:
When we regularly copy text from different articles/pages in browser and paste in [ANOTHER_WEB_PAGE] and perform search.
Here [ANOTHER_WEB_PAGE] can be:
1. Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=)
2. Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=)
3. Bug tracking page in work (https://jira..com/jira/browse/)
4. Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/?tl=en&text=)
In order to add custom context menu named "Search with Google Scholar" the user need to add following details in QuickOWL:
[Enter Display Name] -> Search Google Scholar
[URL before selected text] -> https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=
Once added, select a text from any page in Chrome browser and right click, the user can see "QuickOWL -> Search Google Scholar" context menu. If no text is selected QuickOWL context menu won't be displayed. So, the requirement is to select a text to activate QuickOWL custom context menu.
Following sample data can be downloaded, and imported into QuickOWL:

Why yet another custom context menu search extension?
1. QuickOWL uses manifest v3 guidelines of Chrome Extension development, which means it has longer shelf life
2. Uses least amount of privileges required:
2.1. storage - required to store the user defined context menu URLs
2.2. unlimitedStorage - to allow cumulative storage for the extension to expand beyond 5MB
2.3. contextMenus - required to add custom user defined URL entries in Chrome's context menu
2.4. downloads - required to export current list of user defined URLs for the extension as .txt file
3. Provides necessary alert messages to user to make it easy for the user to understand what is working
