chrome.extension.getURL()

Is there any function in your browser, which acts like the one in subject?
I need to set up css style with image background from content(opera calls'em "injected") script, so I need a link to image, which is in extension files.

You can't directly link to image files inside the extension from an injected script. You would need to message the background thread, which would load the image using XHR, convert it into a data: URI (by hardcoding it or using a Canvas) which is then messaged back to the injected script.

See this post.

If the images are small and you only need them in your injected script, you could just hardcode the data URIs in your injected script.

You can use an online tool like this one to create the data URIs then just paste them in a string and use them where you see fit.
