Google Chrome tip: fast, easy access to extension options screen

Not every extension in my Google Chrome browser action area (the chunk of space where all the buttons go) includes quick access to its options screen.
While it's certainly not all that difficult or time consuming to click through the wrench menu, then extensions, then click the options button next to whatever it is I want to configure, there's a more direct route.
Like many tasks in Windows, you can speed things up with a simple right-click.
Chrome has a built-in context menu (pictured above) which appears when you right click an extension button. As you can see, it's two-click fast to get to the Chromed Bird (or any other configurable extension) options this way!
Bonus: there's also a disable and uninstall option, making it a really fast way to get rid of those unimpressive extensions you test.
