The timeline for implementing this capability has not yet been specified, but it can be expected that Google will enable this feature soon. Most likely, this will occur in the upcoming Canary builds, although the change may not be accepted.
By the way, previously Microsoft the proposed Google changes to the context menu into its Edge browser based on Chromium. It is also possible that the 'blue' browser will eventually feature a function allowing third-party extensions to add their items to the menu.
