Essentially I want to be able to program my own extension to trigger another extension for certain purposes. Is this even possible?
回答1:
If you want to manage other extensions, you could take a look at chrome.management, for your case, I believe you'd like to check management.setEnabled, it allows you to enable/disable another extension.
If you mean to communicate with an running extension for message passing and you have control on both of the two extensions, you could use Cross-extension messaging to communicate with other extensions.
