This feature is currently incorporated into the mobile app, so it would be great to be able search/select an account result and then manually attempt to "autofill " credentials, and then have it request to add the URL to the selected credential.
There are multiple aspects to this that seem to be added as separate requests, including to use Keyboard Shortcuts, a right-click menu option, etc.
All said, it comes down to matching the Mobile app features for the extension.

Yes, some apps seem to have spotty support for the built-in Android Autofill service, leading to misses in how one can get login info filled in. The "best" experiences in other Password Managers seem to rely on a combination of methods, so that something is likely to work for a user.
Some of the various "flavors" of miss can be:
1) Neither field is recognized, so one must launch Proton Pass manually to copy/paste from
2) The username/email field does not prompt autofill, but using autofill from the password field will fill in both spaces
3) The username/email field is not recognized at all (for filling or launching autofill)
- one must fill in the username/email via copy/paste, but need an open instance of Proton Pass to switch to/from, or must fill in by hand.
4) Some applications will simply fail to autofill from the autofill service after selecting login, but the autofill service dismisses because the field is supposedly "filled" (seems more android dependent, as this is more prevalent in recent versions, e.g. 13+, and not just for Proton Pass).For the last two cases, I think that keeping Proton Pass in memory/"recent apps" would allow the user to work around this by switching back to the instance to fall back to copy/paste.
For the 2nd/3rd cases (and somewhat the first), other password managers make use of Accessibility services to create additional prompts if a built-in screen reader sees username/email/password fields. This can make up for poor implementations of the autofill service in applications.

I think too that this can happen in various "flavors" where either:
1) Neither field is recognized, so one must launch Proton Pass manually to copy/paste from
2) The username/email field does not prompt autofill, but using autofill from the password field will fill in both spaces
3) The username/email field is not recognized at all (for filling or launching autofill)

This useful feature is currently incorporated into the mobile app, so it would be great to be able search/select an account result and then manually attempt to "autofill " credentials, and then it could also ask if the user wants to add the URL to the selected credential for next time.
There are multiple aspects to this that seem to be added as separate requests, including to use Keyboard Shortcuts, a right-click menu option, etc.
All said, it comes down to matching the Mobile app features for the extension.
Even if one is using a blank "search" currently (e.g. the result already shows in the listed credentials), there isn't a way to prompt Proton Pass to fill this selected result.
