Share URL

I want use the default 'Share' button to share the viewer's URL. I know users could just pick any of the other options and copy the URL from there, but that appears to be too much hassle for some.

I tried to run a workflow from the Share menu:

{
    "id": "hyperlink",
    "displayName": "Hyperlink",
    "url": "command:RunWorklowWithArguments?workflowId=ShareUrl&Url={ViewerUrl}')",
    "iconUri": "Resources/Images/Icons/link-external-24.png"
}

But this just opens a new browser tab with command:.... as URL.

I also tried to show a standard JavaScript prompt:

{
    "id": "hyperlink",
    "displayName": "Hyperlink",
    "url": "javascript:prompt('Kopiëer onderstaande hyperlink om te kunnen delen.', '{ViewerUrl}')",
    "iconUri": "Resources/Images/Icons/link-external-24.png"
}

But this also opens a new browser tab.

Hi Berend,

I've looked into this and I think that custom code would be necessary for something like this. The Share tool's code is designed to open a hyperlink, and "command:" hyperlink format is only available to certain parts of the viewer (eg Feature Description).

Thanks, do you have an example of integrating a custom option in the Share menu?
