Description

Currently there are media-related options in the long press menu of a post item, it may be more intuitive to put them in a menu that can pop up when the user long presses the media itself.

In addition to "save media" and "share media", there can be more media-related options. Some I can think of are "copy media", "copy media link", "share media link".

Also, currently it seems that "share link" and "copy link" are actually getting the media link instead of the post link when the post has a media, and to get the post link one needs to click "share comments", which is a bit confusing. Having separate media menu can make it clear.

Research direction

Start by locating the post item's existing long-press menu and the handling for long presses on media. Review how save, share, copy, and link actions currently distinguish media links from post links. Done means media-specific actions are available from a media long-press menu and the post and media links are clearly separated.
