The extension will only appear in the "Open" menu for other users that have "linked" or authorized the app to access their own accounts via the OAuth flow. (Just accessing the extension URI itself directly won't do so.) You'll need to implement the OAuth flow in your app to allow other users to authorize the app to access their accounts. You can find information on doing so in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation.
