Problem

Most extension on Chrome that has an option page usually will provide a link in its extension page (chrome://extensions/?id=lmkeolibdeeglfglnncmfleojmakecjb), like this:

(it will also populate it in the context menu of the extension:

)

This is the standard way to visit option page of an extension on Chrome, and arguably is slightly easier to open than the popup menu, if you have the extension icons hidden. And it will open it in a new tab which is more convenient sometimes.

Proposed Solution

I believe it can be achieved by simply expose the corresponding HTML as options_page in the manifest. Please see: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/ui/options-page

Edit: I believe Firefox has something similar, but I'm not too familiar with Firefox webext dev.
