[Enhancement]: Sharing presigned link to specific book/books

[arabshapt]

Describe the feature/enhancement

Imagine you are listening to an audiobook and want to share it and maybe also a timestamp/progress point to not only share access to a book but also to this specific part in the book.
It should be easy to choose the right point. Because typically we want to share a part that we heard about a minute or so ago.
I don't know how challenging it is, but it would be great if I could share a book without adding a new user. This link should have an expiration date and it should be throttled in case the link gets leaked and hundreds of devices try to access the book.
Thank you for this project.

This could also include having a normal link to a book or podcast, with optional timestamp, for sharing with another user - which would simply require them to login with their credentials. Which was exactly what I wanted to be able to do today. 😄 👍

Sharable links would be helpful

Just what I'm looking for. I'd like to be able to share a link to one episode, but without having the person to be a user. So a public link to one episode or book, with or without timestamp. Also, the link can have an expiration date. Thank you.

You can share a book or podcast episode without needing someone to sign in by using an RSS feed. This just makes the files available, there is not a time stamp option.
