Trigger a function when opening the Popup?

I know you can create a popup.tsx file, to show JSX when clicking on the extension icon. Is it possible to trigger a function instead of render content, when clicking on the extension icon? For example, when user clicks on the extension icon, instead of showing content in the popup window - trigger a function to change storage state? Thanks in advance

Yeah, you can do this in background.ts:
chrome.action.onClicked.addListener((tab) => {
});
chrome.action.onClicked.addListener((tab) => {
});
Make sure to remove popup.tsx

Hello!
chrome.action.onClicked is a chrome API and not working with firefox. Is there a plasmo abstraction of browser action that works on both chrome and firefox? 🙏

const action = chrome.action || chrome.browserAction;
action.addListener(() => {...});
const action = chrome.action || chrome.browserAction;
