I was thinking something along these lines instead:

Option 3)

Root >
  ----------
  | Paste
  | Select and Paste >
  | Select >
  ----------
  | Go Back
  | Go Forward
  ----------
  | Go Back
  | Go Forward
  ----------
  | Share...
  ----------|
            ----------
            | Mail
            | AirDrop
            | etc.
            ----------

If that's not possible, I think option 1 is probably best.
