Motivation
"Share" feature returns a direct CID link to file at gateway, which means filename is lost:
The link provided for copying is for RAW CID:

One way is to create a wrapping directory, and embedd filename in it, however a more efficient way is to take advantage of
?filename=parameter supported by go-ipfs and js-ipfs:https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZm53emWPQGQivin6GGT24E2xvzqd56444W881sa7pjqu?filename=name-from-webui.png
This does not produce any overhead, and persists filename in browser history and if user decides to save it to disk.
(Just make sure unicode string is url-escaped)
