Is it possible to populate the main context menu? #1

I'm talking about putting search engines directly in the context menu as opposed to under the "Context Search" sub-menu.

When I add just one bookmark under "Searches" it puts the engine directly in the context menu and not in CS sub-menu.

Edit: Just found this on Developer page:

If you have created more than one context menu item, then the items will be placed in a submenu. The submenu's parent will be labeled with the name of the extension. In this case, if you have also specified an icon, then the submenu's parent will get the icon, and the items themselves will not get any icon.

Chrome also does it this way. Though I don't understand, why not just let us put multiple main items to context menus.

Yeah, it doesn't seem possible with the current spec, unfortunately. If they add the functionality I might revisit/reopen this. Thanks for the feedback though!
