If you open XnViewShellExt64.dll in text editor there is plenty of text strings "webp", "WebP" inside, so maybe it has functions to process them, I don't know. When extension is registered, it is registered in section ContextMenuHandlers for all types of files (in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\IXnView and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\IXnView keys of registry). I'm suspecting it decides on its own when to show itself, and probaly currently it doesn't recognize webp as type it can handle, which doesn't mean it really can't. But I don't know for sure.
