Tell HN: Gmail plugin idea.

If it's not already possible, here's a broad idea for a gmail plugin. - Implement ability to right click on any phone number in an email and choose "Call with Gmail" - Implement ability to right click on any address and choose "Pull up with gmail." The map would then show up and be functional on the right side of the screen.

That is all. Add onto it if you want.

Even better: put Google Calendar on the right of every email. (Maybe make a tabbed pane where you can sort through phone numbers and maps.) I'd use the calendar feature like no other.

That sounds good!

Could you also include a sound for new email. Like the gmail chat noise. I don't know why this doesn't exist anyway.
