A computing system, comprising:

• a display space;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory to store computer-executable instructions, comprising a user interface application and a messaging platform application that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• displaying, in the user interface application, an image, or the portion thereof, in a display space;
• and
• while the user interface application continues to display the image, or portion thereof, searching in one or more digital data sources for, and retrieving, by the messaging platform application, contextual information based on the displayed image, or portion thereof, without receiving user input to request searching in the one or more digital data sources for contextual information based on the displayed image, or portion thereof;
• detecting, by the messaging platform application, one or more user interactions with one or more of the user interface application, the display space, or the image or the portion thereof;
• displaying, by the messaging platform application, a portion of the retrieved contextual information as related digital data content in a location within a field of view of the display space, based in part on the detected one or more user interactions with the one or more of the user interface application, the display space, or the image or portion thereof, without receiving user input to display the portion of the retrieved contextual information as related digital data content;
• and
• receiving, by the messaging platform application, user input, responsive to the displaying of the portion of the retrieved contextual information as related digital data content.
