I’m stoked to see this happen as well. Especially once it advances beyond merely text and URLs. Image and video shares are huge. Code/file shares too.
I’m also intrigued how this can help scientific/academic paper writing when combined with other proposals like scroll to text fragment: https://github.com/WICG/ScrollToTextFragment

You are absolutely right. But the ultimate goal is to enable sharing from webapp-to-webapp. Please see:

I’m really excited about Share Target because it means happily sharing between both native and web apps.
How awesome is that?! 🤩
