Description

### Plugin

share_plus

### Use case

On windows the sharing dialog always shows a link to the file rather than a preview, and always shares the path to the file, which may be temporary and linked to a single machine.

This makes the sharing action pretty pointless IMO. Now it may be a limitation of Windows (hence labelling as enhancement) but it would be really nice to have useful file sharing from flutter on windows even if someone has to code a new dialog..

### Proposal

Ideally, something like this.. but just a text replacement would suffice, as long as it's possible to share a file.
