'Paste & Go' menu option in fields other than the address bar

The address bar has a neat feature when you right-click to display a 'Paste & Go' option. Is it possible to add this right-click option to search fields of web pages? Like google, for example, or any search field of any page. Would be nice if one could right-click in a site's search bar and have the 'Paste & Go' feature available there for ease.

There's no way to know how web content forms are set up, so "go" there is ambiguous.
In addition, it's risky to submit unverified form content in a single action.

So, this can't be done in a safe way (either functionally or from a security point of view). Sorry.
