My first suggestion would be adding a google chrome entry to the
Messaging Menu. Those bubbles seem to have a single point of
interactivity, which is the "options" button. If that's the case,
such interactivity could be the result of clicking on its entry
on the messaging menu.

Of course, this goes slightly against the goals of the Messaging
Menu, which is for messages in the "human to human" sense.
Perhaps it's a good time to restart the discussion about an
equivalent of the messaging menu, but for desktop messages?
