How do I get the current taxonomy term from the plug-in context?

When on a node, the following annotation will obtain the node from the context:

/**  * @Condition(  *   id = "node_type",  *   label = @Translation("Node Bundle"),  *   context = {  *     "node" = @ContextDefinition("entity:node", label = @Translation("Node"))  *   }  * )  */ 

As shown here: https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/api/plugin-api/plugin-contexts

Is there an equivalent way to do this with taxonomy terms when on /taxonomy/term/%?

The code below certainly works but I’m wondering if there is a cleaner method like for nodes. Note that I’m also aware of the Term::load($tid) method but that still requires parsing the URL to obtain the tid and isn’t portable (the code can be used only when run on a page).

  /**    * Return current term.    */   public function getCurrentTerm() {     $term = null;      // Below we are using the general method to obtain the objects.     // DrupaltaxonomyEntityTerm::load($tid) is the other      // Get the unaliased path in the form /taxonomy/term/tid.     $current_path = Drupal::service('path.current')->getPath();      preg_match('//taxonomy/term/d+/', $current_path, $matches);      // Return null if not in proper form.     if (count($matches)) {       // Find the parameters for this route.       $params = DrupalCoreUrl::fromUri("internal:" . $current_path)         ->getRouteParameters();        // Fetch the taxonomy object.       $entity_type = key($params);       $term = Drupal::entityTypeManager()         ->getStorage($entity_type)         ->load($params[$entity_type]);     }      return $term;   } }
