Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

When I right-click a message I would like to see my browser-native context menu with option such as searching or translating selected text, extension functions and other browser-native features.

#### Why would you like to do it?

Because this is functionality that is useful and I have come to expect it on all websites.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

By right clicking.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

Firefox lets me Shift+Right Click to override the website context menu but this is unusual and inconvenient.

### Additional context

All of the functionality I see in the menu is easily accessible from the hover menu for messages so there is no need to make it available some other way when the context menu is disabled.
