Items in the contextual menu (right click) of the preview pane are not specific to FoxTrot; they are provided by macOS, and are specific to the file type (PDF, HTML or text). Maybe they can include items provided by third party app's "extensions" (managed from System Settings / General / Login Items & Extensions), but I am not sure of this (if this was the case, the Orion browser, developed by Kagi, would probably provide an extension to search using kagi.com).
Alternatively, you can have third-party apps that provide "services" (managed from System Settings / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts / Services… [very intuitive, right?]) that could also provide this feature from the application / services menu (and from the contextual menu's services submenu, for text and HTML files, but not for PDF…).
