Well the method by which this Chromecast extension works is using the API for communicating with a desktop application.

It should be possible to do a similar thing for airplay.

Someone needs to find a library that can act as a Airplay Client and then build that into an extension

A quick Google shows this list of clients:

As far as I know, there is no open source client that can do the encryption handshake required to send an AirPlay mirroring stream.
