Is there an app to create a custom action in the sharesheet? I want to create an action that takes a link or some text and transforms it into a new URL. For example, I highlight some text, click share, click Search with (custom search engine), and that action would append the highlighted text to the search engine URL.

Idk if such an app exists but I know that I can set a custom search engine in Firefox and then share whatever text I want with it and it will automatically search the web using the search engine I set
