Steps to reproduce:
It is useful to be able to add context-menu to extension's own privileged pages such as browserAction pop-up, PageAction pop-up, options page etc
At the moment, the only options are a catch-all menus.ContextType which affects all pages (including other extensions' pop-ups), or using the 'contextmenu' Web API.
Above can be achieved via 3 methods:
1- ContextType: a context that only applies to extension's own privileged pages
2- documentUrlPatterns: to match moz-extension://{extension-id}
3- targetUrlPatterns: Expand the matchable attributes (href/src) to include other possibilities

I'm assigning a component to get a start on this, if considered wrong, please feel free to change it to a more appropriate one.

Firefox 64 added several enhancements to the menus API that allows you to restrict menus to specific views (viewTypes). viewTypes / documentUrlPatterns should be sufficient to meet your needs.
