Abstract
A method is implemented in a computing device having an operating system configured to capture screenshot images in response to entries of a pre-defined user input. In the method, an application executing on the computing device detects an entry of the pre-defined user input, identifies one or more executable features of the application that each use information corresponding to a current state or mode of the application to perform a respective set of one or more functions, generates a selectable link for each of the identified executable features, and presents, on the display, the generated selectable links such that a selection by the user of any one of the generated selectable links causes the respective set of functions to be performed.
