Thank you for script, I will see to use it. That is exactly that I
need for indexing of some important references. Today I had 
need for this.

That involves via as web server, and browser. For WWW is
alright. Maybe it could open browser on local files, but is just too
many vias. If I wish to package whole system it requires whole system
distribution. Bunch of files.

That is something to study and try out.

That is one viewpoint but look at Engelbart, did he use mobile device?
Probably nobody even knew about such to exist in future 25 years later
when he invented hypertext systems.

We have various communication lines such as email, various chat
messengers, various social networks, fax, SMS, sound output, streaming
video, so anything should be shareable to any communication channel in
better integrated manner.

1. Place icons of small images like friend's faces on desktop.

2. Drag and drop any file to their icons. Finished.

System could do the rest, if it is short file, it could be sent as SMS
or email, if image or something else, send it as attachment or provide
password protected on a website with notification both to SMS and
email.

In general any feature that spares users of typing and making too many
actions is useful.
