@Pawel: thank you, yes as I said in an earlier comment :)

The feature feels is broken as a whole:

- The intent is to share a picture but it is being coerced as links sharing to the end app,
- I am not sure that from the content hub sharing's perspective end apps are expected to be handed out external (http based) resources and download them (it obviously doesn't work anyway), what is the advertised semantics?
- When sharing online resources, one must also think about adding context to the URI (most importantly credentials if any, possibly others like UA string, etc.), the question of credentials sharing is sensitive, as we dont want to leak any (unless specifically ack'd by the user to the end app),
- When sharing online resources and handing it off to an app, one must take into account the http response's meta info: file name, content type, etc. which we might want to let every app handle,
