  "textContent": "I identify what you’re looking at now. It is in ChatGPT (when you aren’t completely rewriting with your own styling and script..). A selection of text will indeed precipitate a floating “Ask ChatGPT” as if a single item context menu, although strange wording, as you are already in ChatGPT.\n\nThe action this produces places the selection as text to be referenced, and then your cursor is again at the chat input box referring to the selection. It doesn’t open a new tab, but it does “break the conversation” with a new turn being generated to be read at the bottom of the conversation session flow.\n\nIn ChatGPT, you can “erase” a temporary question by editing it, even a message that is based on a selection. Go back to your selection query input message, find the pencil icon in the message’s tool buttons (hovering at right-bottom) and continue as you would have without the aside. Directly referencing what the AI said while you type takes creative scrolling.\n\nIt seems your desire is very distinct, and maybe you want not a “ask ChatGPT” that you prompt more, but an instant “help me understand”.\n\n* * *\n\nInterestingly enough, this forum does have such a feature for earned-trust users that might be a prototype of a presentation ChatGPT could deliver - you can ask an AI “explain” about some detail you’ve selected with a short prompt, and get a floating box (that still could use improvement - it disappears too easily).\n\n##",
