Chrome Bookmarks Bar Context Menu

What I'm trying to do is add a new item to the context menu that pops up when you right click on a bookmark in Chrome.

For Reference .

I've been poking around the Chrome Extension API, but I can't find any reference to that context menu. The normal Chrome extension context menu changes won't show up when you rclick on a bookmark, and I'm not looking for the "Add bookmark via right click" extension. At this point I don't think it's possible, but wanted see if anyone has any ideas.

Alternatively, my goal is to have a 1 or 2 click option to update a bookmark to the current page, instead of having to rclick > edit > copy url > paste url > save. The goal was to have an 'Update to current page' item in the bookmark context menu, but if anyone can think of another solution let me know. I made a popup extension that can do this, but I'm looking for a way that stays in the bookmarks bar.

Thanks.

Since the ContextType doesn't include anything related with bookmarks, I believe you can't achieve that.

Maybe you can override the default bookmark, although you can't change the special "Bookmarks Bar", but since you have taken over the default bookmarks, you could control how user updates bookmarks via the entry your provided, either through clicking page/browser action (See Google Bookmarks Manager) or anything else.
