Create confirmation as CS after clicking on context menu

I created a context menu that save an image after clicking on the menu item. I would like to create a nice confirmation as CS. What would be the best way to send a message from the BGSW to CS? Here the code I have in BGSW in background/index.ts:

chrome.contextMenus.create({
  id: "kapture",
  title: "Kapture",
  contexts: ["image"]
});

chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(async function (info) {
  const { pageUrl, srcUrl } = info;

  if (!srcUrl || !pageUrl) return;

  const response = await fetch("https://kapture.so/api/save-image", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      srcUrl,
      pageUrl
    })
  });

  const result = await response.json();
  console.log(result);
});

chrome.contextMenus.create({
  id: "kapture",
  title: "Kapture",
  contexts: ["image"]
});

chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(async function (info) {
  const { pageUrl, srcUrl } = info;

  if (!srcUrl || !pageUrl) return;

  const response = await fetch("https://kapture.so/api/save-image", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      srcUrl,
      pageUrl
    })
  });

  const result = await response.json();
  console.log(result);
});

And just to confirm, I would like a message to send some data from the context menu listener to CS as well as a message so I can open the confirmation modal. Should I use Porta for that? And how to send data from my contextMenu listener to CS?

can try window.postMessage() at BG and receive it with window.addEventListener("message", (event) => {})
