Multiple entries in context menu for chrome extension?

Question

I played with the Chrome extension to allow me to right-click on a selection of text and search for that text on a site, such as Wikipedia or IMDb. I managed to do this, but when I right-clicked, I would prefer the options to be listed one by one. The default way Chrome context menus work causes all items to be gathered in one parent menu, as described here: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/contextMenus.html

It is not specifically mentioned, however, that the elements absolutely cannot be listed individually. I have not seen anything to suggest how this can be done. I assume that creating separate extensions will work, but this is not an ideal solution.

Does anyone have any ideas?

There is no workaround than creating multiple extensions. The Google Chrome Developer page clearly states that more than one item is not allowed in the main context menu. If the extension tries to create more than one element, Chrome will hide all of them in one parent element.
