Deep link to images

[crspybits]

Recently, I told Rod about an image I'd just uploaded to SharedImages. Then, Dany had problems finding that reference because I'd subsequently added a few more images. It could be useful to have a deep linking facility, where you could send a friend a deep link to the specific image. That deep link would presumably require that the person already be a member of the sharing group, and have SharedImages installed. Under these conditions, I see no reason for that link to expire.

From Dany: Personal preference :deep link to underlying storage uri. Possibly with expiration so it opens in browser.

Note that this would require at least a partial web-based client: To enable the user to sign in to the system. And also to access at least file index and download endpoints.

Another way to do what Dany is suggesting would be to make the link independent of creds. An expiry would be suitable then. And a new endpoint would be needed. This would seem to raise issues of application type. E.g., even in shared images we might want to share both the image and the discussion thread. Thus the client web interface would have to be specific to SharedImages.

I can see if sharing a discussion being necessary to require all users to have the app. The sharing of a single image as a single use app may be a different concern than being addressed by "deep linking" as this issue was originally opened for.
