Abstract: A web-browser plug-in is described herein that detects the type of content a user selects on a web page and allows the user to retrieve additional information about selected web content or initiate a communication application. The plug-in analyzes the user's selection to determine what type of web content was selected. A smart menu is created and presented to the user with options relating to the type of web content selected. The user can then either download additional information about the web content or initiate a communication application without having to navigate to another web page or request information from a web service. Without having to navigate to a second web page, the user can select an option and either view the additional web information or initiate the communication application.
