Context actions do not collect the results of the subprocess nor
monitor its completion, they are intended for external actions, the
example given in the manual is opening a browser page for the selected
item.

Custom commands substitute their output in the text, build commands
show their output in the compiler window, but currently there is no
user controllable command that shows its results in the message
window.
