Information passed to the {{WebExtAPIRef("menus.onClicked")}} event listener when a menu item is clicked.

Type

Values of this type are objects. They contain the following properties:

  • bookmarkId {{optional_inline}}
    • : string. The ID of the bookmark where the context menu was clicked.
  • button {{optional_inline}}
    • : integer. Which mouse button was pressed. The values are the same as for MouseEvent.button.
  • checked {{optional_inline}}
    • : boolean. A flag indicating whether a checkbox or radio item was checked after it was clicked.
  • editable
    • : boolean. A flag indicating whether the element is editable: for example, if it is a textarea.
  • frameId {{optional_inline}}
    • : integer. The ID of the frame in which the item was clicked. The frame ID can be used in other APIs that accept frame IDs, such as {{WebExtAPIRef("tabs.sendMessage()")}}. If the item was clicked in the top level document, frameId is zero. If the item was clicked outside the page entirely (for example, in the tools_menu or tab context), then frameId is undefined.
  • frameUrl {{optional_inline}}
    • : string. The URL of the frame of the element where the context menu was clicked, if it was in a frame.
  • linkText {{optional_inline}}
    • : string. If the element is a link, the text for the link. If the link contains no text, the URL itself is given here.
  • linkUrl {{optional_inline}}
    • : string. If the element is a link, the URL it points to.
  • mediaType {{optional_inline}}
    • : string. One of "image", "video", or "audio" if the context menu was activated on one of these types of elements.
  • menuItemId
    • : integer or string. The ID of the menu item that was clicked.
  • modifiers
    • : array of string. An array containing any modifier keys that were pressed when the item was clicked. Possible values are: "Alt", "Command", "Ctrl", "MacCtrl", and "Shift". On a Mac, if the user has the Control key pressed, then both "Ctrl" and "MacCtrl" are included.
  • pageUrl {{optional_inline}}
    • : string. The URL of the page in which the menu item was clicked. This property is not present if the click occurred in a context where there is no current page, such as on a browser action.
  • parentMenuItemId {{optional_inline}}
    • : integer or string. The parent ID, if any, for the item clicked.
  • selectionText {{optional_inline}}
    • : string. If some text was selected in the page, this contains the selected text.
  • srcUrl {{optional_inline}}
    • : string. If present, the src value for the media in the clicked element.
  • targetElementId {{optional_inline}}
    • : integer. An identifier of the element, if any, over which the context menu was created. Use {{WebExtAPIRef("menus.getTargetElement()")}} in the content script to locate the element. Note that this is not the id attribute of the page element.
  • viewType {{optional_inline}}
    • : {{WebExtAPIRef("extension.ViewType", "ViewType")}}. The type of extension view.
  • wasChecked {{optional_inline}}
    • : boolean. A flag indicating whether a checkbox or radio item was checked before it was clicked.
