Upgrade Storage'Share' button
Hello,
I would like to see a 'share' button in Zotero, letting the user to share items with someone else. A typical use case of this is sharing papers with a supervisor by email. Currently, I have to click 'Show file' for the PDF file I want to share, copy and paste its full path ("C:\Users\...") onto the email client to attach them on a message. If I want to share 4 files to the same message, I'll have to repeat this procedure 4 times.
It would be great if zotero could, in this case, automatically invoke the current email client app and automatically added PDF attachments as email attachments, plus a template message containing the item references in a format (say, IEEE).

I think the best bet would be to aim for something like gmail integration, which could also be done as an add-on. Even that's non-trivial, though.
