Zusammenfassung:The disclosed technology surfaces application functionality for an object in a user interface of a computing device. A context associated with the object is determined. A contextual tool window of the user interface presents the user interfaces for one or more functions of one or more applications, based on the context, without launching any of the one or more applications in an application window.

The selected function is executed on the object without launching any of the one or more applications in an application window.
