Add Android Message on Sidebar

There's two possible improvements that would make it much easier to use Android Messages on the Sidebar:
- Implementing Android Messages as a native option for messaging, alongside Whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook, etc.
- If that's difficult, then allowing custom websites added to the sidebar to send pop-up notifications. (An added bonus would be enabling shortcuts to be set for particular sidebar extensions.)
As it stands, Android users have two options for messaging from PC. The Phone Link app lacks encryption and hi-res media, so that's not great. Using messages from Web requires an extra tab to be open, or an entirely separate window (if installed as a Chrome/Edge PWA). The tab isn't ideal because it gets buried. The PWA isn't great either because links end up opening in which ever browser set up the PWA, even if Opera is the default browser.
Using either of the suggested implementations would allow Messages to be running while Opera is open, with notifications, without the need for a different browser. -
