title: Get page selection including HTML?
body: <p>I'm writing a Chrome Extension, and I was wondering if it was possible to get the selected text of a particular tab, including the underlying HTML? So if I select a link, it should also return the <code>&lt;a&gt;</code> tag.</p>
  
  <p>I tried looking at the context menu event objects (yes, I'm using a context menu for this), and this is all that comes with the callback:</p>
  
  <pre><code>editable : false
  menuItemId : 1
  pageUrl : &lt;the URL&gt;
  selectionText : &lt;the selected text in plaintext formatting, not HTML&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It also returns a Tab object, but nothing in there was very useful, either.</p>
  
  <p>So I'm kind of at a loss here. Is this even possible? If so, any ideas you might have would be great. Thanks! :)</p>
