“add to share” functionality

i’ve got copyparty working just the way i want it, and i love how well it is works. but, one thing that i wish i could find a better solution for (in my use cases) is file/share management. i have a bunch of files stored on my server (where copyparty runs as a docker container) and once in a while i want to share them out to family or friends, e.g. photos from a holiday or event.

rather than dealing with per-folder permissions, or ssh’ing in to my server and doing `ln -s` on a bunch of source files via commandline, or spinning up another container with a gui file manager to accomplish this, i think a really nice-to-have feature would be a share "playlist” of sorts, but for arbitrary files.

it would be great if i could (as an admin user with full read/write permission on the mounted directories) browse around within copyparty, right-click a directory or file, and then hit an “add to share…” button, which would symlink the object (recursively, for directories) into a share directory. then, i can navigate to that share directory, right-click it to get my share link, and text/email/message it along to the intended recipient.

this feature could be combined with the multi-select option, as a workaround to the current limitation that prevents multiple directories from being shared simultaneously with the existing “share” function. i think it would be just a little easier than navigating all around the file browser, doing a “copy” operation on a couple files/dirs at a time, pasting them in my desired public-access share dir, going to hunt around for the next dir i want to share, repeat, repeat.
