Selecting text will cause automatically menu with "Copy" selection

Hello all,

A very useful feature is when you select text (words) with your mouse to have automatically opened a menu with "Search/Copy" choices. You can skip the Search part and add only Copy part. This can be observed on another browser as implemented feature and it is very handy.

This is what we have an extensible context menu for.
Select text, right-click the selection, and tada. You have more than just "search" and "copy" available to you.
(also, what's with the bubble not even being on the selection? not very ergonomic, is it?)

If you want pop up menu to display automatically, there's this add-on: Quick Context 2

Hello,

Quick Context 2 does exactly what I've explained. It will be good if you implement it and no addon is needed.
