Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
More of a limitation. I'm not able to run JavaScript in the blocks if it includes calls on the Chrome APIs.
For my use case, I need to call chrome.runtime.sendMessage(extendionId: string, {action: "message"});
When I attempt to do this using the JavaScript block, It produces the following message:
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'sendMessage')
I believe this is because the JS is running in a sandbox context, even when "background" is selected.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like there to either be:
A way to run the chrome APIs
A block to send chrome runtime messages to other chrome extensions
Describe alternatives you've considered
I would like to automate user clicks on chrome-extension:// urls, but I cannot do so because of security restrictions of Chrome extensions. Because of this, I need to create my own automations, but would like to integrate it with Automa to do some of the work. Having messaging between the Automa extension and my own extension is necessary for this.
