What apps and use cases did you have in mind?
To make it easier to open the current URL in other non-browser apps, i.e. instead of copy-pasting the URL from the URL entry into a third-party app. elementary OS has Contractor which works similarly to Android's share intent to let apps pass data back and forth without hard-coding support for one another. In this case, I could see it useful to be able to email a link, maybe share it with chat apps, etc.
One use case I can imagine is to allow setting any image you find online as your desktop wallpaper.
Btw, I'm interested in doing the same thing in Odysseus, I'm just uncertain about the details.
@alcinnz I think that's a bit separate, as it would be file-specific instead of just sharing URLs themselves. But yeah, something to also think about.
Probably requires using contractor or something, or maybe listing apps that can handle URLs.
