[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Eli and Stefan,

Attaching the latest iteration of the patch (renamed 
0003-Add-context-menu-share-to-mouse.el.patch) incorporating your 
feedback.

New in patch:

- Sharing/opening file externally is now generic and available via 
 context menu (needs context-menu-mode enabled) on multiple 
 platforms.
- Added file opening/sharing support for GNU/Linux via (xdg-open) 
 and any other platform which support it.
 - Region/text opening/sharing is now supported by xdg-open too.
- Sharing/opening routing behavior is now configurable and can 
 override the context menu implementation.
- Removes lambda usage from Objective-C/native code.
- Guards macOS addition via NS_IMPL_COCOA (avoid breaking 
 GNUstep).

While routing logic is now configurable, it'be great to extend the 
default behavior for other platforms. Android sounds like a great 
candidate as per Rudolf's suggested API 
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=76120#47. Any 
Android folks keen on extending the feature?

Also attaching screenshots as per current patch for both GNU/Linux 
and macOS.

Álvaro
