how can i go from using this (works as a context action)

InvokeActionItem  {
                                    title: "Share Message"
                                    id: shareInvoke
                                    query {
                                        mimeType: "text/plain"
                                        data: application.getByteArray(myTextArea.text);
                                        invokeActionId: "bb.action.SHARE"
                                     }
                                     onTriggered: {
                                         data = myTextArea.text;
                                     }
                                 }

 to something that will work without a context action menu, action menu, any default menu....

I got this below to populate the share menu, howver the text is not transferred like it was with the invoke action item

Button {
            text: "Settings"
            attachedObjects: [

                       Invocation {
                           id: invoke
                           query: InvokeQuery {
                               mimeType: "text/plain"
                               data: application.getByteArray(myTextArea.text)
                           }
                       }
                   ]

                   onClicked: {
                      
                       invoke.trigger("bb.action.SHARE")
                   }
               }

 If possible i would still like to avoid  C++ methods

... I had to create my own menu in order to instantly open it instead of the delay that context actions have, It's working great however the most important option doesnt

Use : updateQuery () in Invocation : 

onQueryChanged : updateQuery ()

that worked amazingly well, & I would have never though of it.... Thanks a million

for some reason i cant get it to transfer the text without calling trigger("bb.action.SHARE") in the onArmed: signal

Button {                  
   attachedObjects: [
                         Invocation {
                             id: invoke
                                 query: InvokeQuery {
                                 id: invokeQuery
                                 mimeType: "text/plain"
                                 }
                             onArmed: {
                                 invoke.trigger("bb.action.SHARE");
                                 }
                                 }
                                 
                             ]
                    
                    onClicked:{
                        invokeQuery.data = myTextArea.text;
                        invokeQuery.updateQuery();
                        }
}

 the only issue with this is it pops up the share screen as soon as the app opens

                    onClicked:{
                        invoke.trigger("bb.action.SHARE");
                        invokeQuery.data = myTextArea.text;
                        invokeQuery.updateQuery();
                        }

 removing on armed & placing invoke inside onClicked causes the app to freeze & crash. but if i remove any reference to updateQuery() it will bring up the target  list, only it does not carry the data from my text area

[slashkyle]

it was allowing me to use it 

Button {
    attachedObjects: [
        Invocation
        {
            id: invoke
            query: InvokeQuery
            {
                id: invokeQuery
                invokeActionId: "bb.action.SHARE"
                mimeType: "text/plain"
                onQueryChanged: updateQuery()
                data: appName.getByteArray(myTextArea.text)
                }
            }
        ]
    onClicked: {
        invoke.trigger("bb.action.SHARE")
        }
    }

 but for some reason it won't allow me to use it without calling onArmed & it launching with my app if i delay on armed by placing it inside onClicked

onClicked: {
invoke.onArmed = invoke.trigger("bb.action.SHARE");
}

 it delays the launch until clicked however it will not transfer or update the text from my text area
