Chrome Extension launch from website button

Question

I do have an extension (developed by me). It works fine. However I can't get the idea on how to launch extension from regular button on a web-page.

The main action (opens Chrome Popup) is performed when I click on extension icon.

But I also need to be able to launch extension via button click on website. Should I send a msg to extension from website via javascript or?

Or I can go in a different way, and insert content from extension popup to website placeholder. A bit awkward working with extensions.

Any advice appreciated.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it's not possible. But from the looks of it, it may be available soon.
