Forgive my ignorance, is there any other OS support for this, even on the horizon? Any standard which is related?
edit: Forgive me I just read Chrome/Firefox extension "Share to discourse"

Yes, it’s a web standard.
Firefox and Edge have public support for the standard.

Yeah, only problem is that I always get “Web Share Target” and “Web Share” mixed ![:sweat_smile: :sweat_smile:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/sweat_smile.png?v=9)
One is about sending links from Discourse, and the other is about receiving.
This topic is about the Web share Target. The Web share is more straightforward, so it’s coming to iOS next version.
