"Share" options limited on Windows, no method of selecting an option not shown #34

Description

@BrandonML

When invoked in both Chrome and Edge (using the Tabby share button), the options are extremely limited and don't allow the user to select a different channel from the ones shown. In my case, I cannot even select email as a generic channel, or Google Chat, or popular SM channels. Here is what it looks like on my PC:

Experimenting with an actual webpage, I tried Edge's native browser share option (Chrome does not appear to have this). When I used share via the browser, I was given more options: Outlook, Gmail, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter. The ability to choose an option not shown is noticeably absent here as well. This is what it looks like:

This presents some questions that need researching, and eventually identify a method of sharing that gives the user more options, or the ability to choose options not shown.

  1. Is the difference in Edge between Tabby's share function and Edge's browser function because Tabby isn't technically a page/URL? Or are there real differences between the browser share function and what we are invoking?
  2. Is there a better or different method of sharing than what is in place currently, that would give the user more options?
  3. Is Chrome really lacking a native share function? I can only find generate a QR code and share with my devices. Nothing to share externally to other sources.
