Right-click Send Link to Phone

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For a number of things I'd just like to download something directly to the 
phone, rather than open the browser.  For example when a new .apk of this 
app is published it would be nice to be able to right-click on the download 
link and click "Send Link to Phone" rather than send the page and then have 
to click on the link on the phone.

to expand, right clicking on selected text could be sent to phone also. the ap 
on phone 
could intelligently decide what to do with it. http goes to browser, phone 
number 
number formatting triggers the dialer, perhaps there could be a context menu on 
desktop 
to "force" selected text to certain apps.

eg. Select an address and you could use the context menu to either send to 
google maps 
on phone or add/create a new contact

The Firefox extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161941/ 
already
support the context menu for links, images and selected text. What happens when 
they
are send to the phone is up to the Android App.

this was previously suggested, however Chrome does not currently have an API to 
support accessing the context menu with an extension. 
Send To Phone for Firefox does do this.
