Public bug reported: If some text is selected when the user selects Share in the web browser, the browser could add that selected text to the ContentItem it shares (as well as keeping the URL set to the URL of the page). This would make it possible to build apps like Android's Xcerpt (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.transcendentlabs.xcerpt) which formats the text and link into a nice image for uploading to Twitter.
