Alter behaviour of default actions/roles e.g. when copying a link about electron-context-menu HOT 4 CLOSED

I agree with the problem, do you have any suggestions on how we could solve this?

With the solution defined in #14, I think a simple callback won't be possible with the "enums".

I will try and start implementing #14 (in the coming days) and maybe things will become clearer down the road.

@jarivo Sure, it could. We could make x.COPY => x.COPY({transform: url => url.replace()}), but not sure it's the best solution. Maybe we could have a hook option function that receives every action and is able to modify it or something.

I personally prefer your first suggestion, it is clean and "future-proof" for extra options which might be action-specific. If they want a general hook function, they can by adding it as a transform for each of them.

The second suggestion is less work on our side, but I think it would become messy when someone needs to implement custom behaviour for all of them. Sure it is much easier when you want to manipulate all incoming text/urls/strings (e.g. replacing http with https)

So I think both of them have some use cases, but the first one seems less of a hurdle for the end user.
