Summary: Experiment with Web Share API to figure out if the current spec is implementable in Gecko/GeckoView. The specification defines an API for sharing text, links and other content to an arbitrary destination of the user's choice. The available share targets are either OS specific, or can be other websites that are registered as "Share Targets". Web-based Share Targets are not in scope right now - that's a different spec [1].

Dale Harvey implemented native share functionality on Desktop before, which you can access through the meatball menu, inside the urlbar.
So if you’d like to go for parity across platforms, please feel free to reach out.
Best,
Mike.
