XF2.1: Content sharing for section links (replace existing section link anchor)

XenForo 2.1 adds per-post content sharing options. This could be handy in VaultWiki too, for individual sections. The current anchor icon 'section link' is IMO cumbersome on mobiles as it requires fiddling around in the address bar. Changing this to XF2.1's content-sharing tool with the 'copy to clipboard' feature (and other social sharing options) would be helpful.

What's better is that this share control is written in a fairly generic way so should add-on developers want to add this to their own add-ons it is very simple to do so.

Here's how the template side of things is setup for forum posts in post_macros template. The important bit is the "share-tooltop" element handler and the data-href parameter.

Code:

<a href="{{ link('threads/post', $thread, {'post_id': $post.post_id}) }}" data-xf-init="share-tooltip" data-href="{{ link('posts/share', $post) }}" rel="nofollow"> <xf:fa icon="fa-share-alt"/> </a>

Which calls the XF:Post controller's share action. And then XF\Pub\Controller\Post's actionShare calls \XF\ControllerPlugin\Share.

Thoughts/comments?

N.B. This feature suggestion is related to #5518 but different, as I'm talking about changes to VaultWiki section links, not the sidebar.

Unrelated: Also adjacent to the section link icon is the top link which duplicates stock XF2.0 functionality (please see my #5156 reply for details).

The 'anchor' link is outdated. XenForo 2.1 has a 'share' button with a sharing interface. One of the option is a anchor link. This works much better.
Please implement this for VW as well.

Implemented in Alpha 3. In XenForo 2.1, the anchor link will open the sharing interface.

Awesome .

In line with this XF2.1 change, it would be great to change the fa-anchor icon to fa-share-alt (f1e0), if you haven't already done so.
