After all the discussions we had about the meaning of "sharing" in
this case, what exactly makes you say xdg-open etc. are not equivalent
to this "sharing"? just the fact that xdg-open doesn't have an option
called literally "share", or something else?

IOW, would you please describe the general functionality that the
proposed "sharing" offers and xdg-open doesn't?
