Oops, sorry for the hold up. This wasn't showing on my dashboard until it was overdue so I missed it. Looking now.

[strepanier03]

I can see how this could be handy, not 100% sure of the value or difficulty in adding it though. Sending on for another opinion.

Nice! I'll hold off on posting to Upwork for the time being, but will keep myself assigned to the issue.

[Justicea83]

I think we should be able to copy the links of all the items in the list, maybe the user just wanna share the link. In all cases the user already has the application installed so they might wanna share the urls with their friends.

This issue seems purely internal, so I'm going to close now.
