[BUG] Trigger popup from content file

[Tulean]

What happened?

I have added a button through content.ts into a website. What I am trying to do with that button is to trigger popup.tsx content. Do we have a way to manually via. some event to trigger this?

I think the API is coming soon, but likely not on stable: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/action/#method-openPopup

Basically send a message to BGSW, and from BGSW call that method.

@louisgv is there any workaround with the current stable? my use case: context menu -> openPopup. i could probably do with the content overlay on the page, but then typing there conflicts with the onpage shortcuts (f.ex: github uses "s" to search). any help appreciated, ty!

Unfortunately openPoup is still not available on Chrome (stable), I'm getting Error in event handler: TypeError: chrome.action.openPoupup is not a function.

Still not available. Seems there is also some usage restriction without any further details.

Local testing is not available, the "policy required" part does not really help.
