«Web pages to widget» interaction

Does any way of «web-page to widget» interaction exist?




I'm developing mash-up widget which use last.fm as music catalog and vkontakte.ru as mp3 library to play music
(you can try it).




So i want to use widget as opera search engine: select any text on page and quickly open widget with selected string as parameter. Widgets in sandbox, but there are no any security risks here

There isn't... at least not in a way you specified... a widget would have to pull data from the page itself with AJAX but that doesn't help you in this case...

You could do this with a combination of User Javascript and Opera Unite.

IF it's not a secret how did you get tracks uploaded to vkontakte.ru?

I think you could have some kind of a workaround by adding an item to the right-click menu which runs an application with selected text as an argument. But i'm not sure if it's possible to do this only by the means of a widget.
