Enable an extension icon and options to manage it such as on/off, etc.

Problem Description:

When the extension is enabled, browsing the Facebook homepage briefly displays the content before it quickly turns into a blank page. The browser's developer console logs the following error:

wYG80FM5vGF.js:71  ErrorUtils caught an error:

Multiple calls to CometPlatformRootClient.init are not supported.

Subsequent non-fatal errors won't be logged; see https://fburl.com/debugjs.

Browser Version: Edge 131.0.2903.147

Hi @planetoid You should be able to enable/disable the Extension through the Edge browser's Extension settings to turn it off for browsing the general web. Then turn it on when doing work on Wikidata.

I don't know how much work it would be to enable a quick click button to enable/disable it, as well as display an icon.
Any tips? Perhaps you could offer a pull request that enables that new functionality?
I've definitely thought of them while working on it. See Next Steps section in the README that I thought of: https://github.com/thadguidry/wikidata-entity-linker?tab=readme-ov-file#next-steps

Another extension called 'Enable JavaScript' can achieve 'Use a single button to turn JavaScript on or off on the Google Chrome Tab you are in.' The implementation details are unclear.

You would simply read up on adding features into this projects' existing manifest.json that enable the things like the icons, action, options_page, options_ui, etc.

It's actually quite simple! Declarative entries in the manifest.json file enable those features, and just 1 or 2 more files added in like options.html or if side_panel is warranted as well, an HTML file that displays in the sidePanel of Edge or Chrome.
