Make extension operate on a specific request not all of them.

I know that the processHttpMessage interface makes my code execute at every request and response passed, how do i make my extension run at a specific request (or specific multiple ones), like lets say i can select a few requests to from the target tab (or repeater for example) => right click => Extensions => My-Extension , how do i do that in my code ?

Hi It sounds like you want to register an IContextMenuFactory. On the IContextMenuInvocation interface, you can use "getSelectedMessages()" to retrieve the messages that the user had selected. You can find a simple example of an extension that uses a context menu factory here: https://github.com/Hannah-PortSwigger/ContextMenuExtension/blob/main/src/main/java/burp/BurpExtender.java
