google chrome extension manifest v3 context menu create and console command execution on that page

Question

This is my first chrome extension. I want to run a console command from the right-click menu, for example a plain hello world. The extension writes to its console. How can I run it on the page where I am? So not in the add-on's console, but on any page where I press the button

manifest.json

{
   "name": "Hello",
   "description": "Hello world",
   "version": "0.1.107",
   "permissions": ["contextMenus"],
   "host_permissions": ["<all_urls>"],
   "background": {
     "service_worker": "background.js"
   },
   "manifest_version": 3
 }

background.js

chrome.contextMenus.create({
    id: 'hello',
    title: 'Hello world',
    contexts: ['page']
  })
  
  function contextClick(info, tab) {
    const { menuItemId } = info
  
    if (menuItemId === 'hello') {
      console.log("Hello world");
    }
  }
  
  chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(contextClick);

I think you're probably looking at a different console.
