Description

The link picker would also be useful for other results than links, e.g. text snippets or images. It would be nice if we could have:

  • A way to specifify which result types an app wants to receive when launching the picker
  • Standardise different result types
    • Link (current way of doing it)
    • Text (plain text, also works currently but could be more specific)
    • Image (as base64 encoded)

We'd need some discussion around wording and naming of this as currently we use the "Add link" / "Pick link" terms but we can probably just adapt that to "Insert link/text/image". For apps that support multiple (like text) we should though have a combining term.
