The use case is self-explanatory. If it was possible to share the item via API, as in, configuring expiration timers, adding emails, etc. and getting the link you can automate any process that requires sharing credentials/TOTP. This can be useful in many scenarios:
Provisioning user accounts
Automatically sharing created credentials with customers/third parties/employees
Increasing reliability of processes that depend on temporary credentials that include TOTP
etc.
Proposed solution
That is an API design choice. But perhaps extend the /item/ endpoint to include a /item/{itemID}/share where a GET request can recover the share information of the item, a POST allows to creation of the share and a PATCH allows to change of an active share and a DELETE removes the share from the item.
Is there a workaround to accomplish this today?
Not that I'm aware of. If there is I would be interested to know.

1Password already has the feature, it isn't accessible via API.
