Don't know for google-chrome, but for firefox, it is possible, see
https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/wiki#wiki-firefoxbookmarks

It is the same for gnus, with this script instead:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/bash

wmctrl -xa emacs
if [ -n $1 ]; then
    emacsclient -e "(message-mail (substring \"$1\" 7))"
else
    emacsclient -e "(message-mail)"
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
