Research direction
Investigate the source code, specifically index.js, to understand how the context menu is built and exposed. Look for any existing methods to modify the menu after creation. If none exist, consider adding a method like `updateMenu` or `getMenu` that allows users to modify or inject new MenuItems. Check the documentation and any existing tests for patterns to follow.
