Description

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

EXTRATOR DE TEXTO

### Scenario when this would be used?

AO INVES DE UTILIZAR O TECLADO PARA COMBINAR TECLAS WIN+SHIFT+T PARA ATIVAR A FUNÇÃO,PODERIA SER MUITO MAIS ÚTIL NO MENU DE CONTEXTO,BOTÃO DIREITO NA PALAVRA OU TEXTO QUE VC QUER E EXTRAIR, BEM MAIS FUNCIONAL.
UM FORTE ABRAÇO, ESPERO QUE A EQUIPE ATRIBUA ESSA FUNÇÃO.

Description of the new feature / enhancement
TEXT EXTRACTOR

Scenario when this would be used
Instead of using the keyboard shortcut Win + Shift + T to activate the feature, it would be much more useful to have it in the context menu.
Right‑click the word or text you want to extract, choose the option, and done — far more functional.

A big hug, and I hope the team adds this feature.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the Text Extractor implementation and the Win+Shift+T entry point, then identify where the desktop context menu is handled. Done means the extractor can be invoked from the context menu for selected text as well as by the existing shortcut.
