Option to save links from context menu without opening the editor popup #250

Description

@rmuhamedgaliev

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When saving a link via the right-click context menu ("Create new bookmark" on a link, not the current page), the extension always opens the small editor popup — even when Save automatically is enabled in Settings → Appearance → Clipper.

That setting works fine for the toolbar icon (clicking it saves the current page instantly, no popup), but it's not respected for the context menu action on a link. This makes it slow to save many links in a row (e.g. going through an RSS/news feed and saving several articles) — you have to close the popup after every single link.

Describe the solution you'd like Please make the context menu "save link" action respect the existing Save automatically setting, the same way the toolbar icon does — save straight to Unsorted (or the last used collection) with just a small confirmation toast, no popup.

If respecting the existing setting isn't desirable for some reason (e.g. because context-menu saves are expected to always let you pick a collection/tags), a separate toggle specifically for the context menu action would also solve this — something like "Save automatically" → "Applies to: toolbar icon / context menu / both".

Describe alternatives you've considered

Drag-and-dropping links into the sidebar — works, but is more effort than a keyboard/mouse-only workflow when going through a long list of links.
A userscript hitting the Raindrop API directly — works as a workaround, but duplicates functionality that's already almost there in the official extension.

Additional context Browser: Firefox, extension version 5.6.91 (as of writing). Happy to test a build/PR for this if useful — I've already forked the repo.
