Is there a quicker way to open docs from my Dropbox folder in Word for the web?

Macbook OS 15.6.1

When opening word files through a dropbox finder window, it's a two step process to open in word-for-web for collaboration:  

Right click>quick-actions>open on dropbox.com

Then: Open in>word-for-web

Is there a way to add a right-click quick-action to open a document directly in word-for-web?

    Hey earge, thanks for posting your question!

    At the moment, there's no quicker way to do this, but I would suggest posting your idea on our dedicated "Ideas" board.

    You can read Emma's tips here first and then post your feature request on this page for other users to up-vote.

    Thanks!
