When reading an email message, if I highlight text in within the message, and then right-click, I get a pop-up menu that includes options such as: 

  Copy
  Select All
  Search Google for <selected text>
  Open
  Reply
  etc, etc, etc...

Is there any config file for this menu that can be edited? I would like to add additional items in the same section as the "Search Google for", to use other search URLS and also include the <selected text> portion. If this was in a config file somewhere, it seems I could just duplicate the line & change the URL. This would allow me to be much more efficient ...

Thanks, Rob

You could try the following add-on: URL Link https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/url-link/

I have tested the above add-on in Thunderbird 128.8.1esr, and it works.
