Most of the time I want to forward a scanned URL (or some other data) somewhere so I can later check it out, usually with a laptop. This is currently not that easy:
Scan a QR code URL
Barcode Scanner shows buttons to open browser, share with email or SMS
Have a Share UI element which shows all the apps registered for sharing
A workaround currently is to open the scanned link in the browser and select "Share Page" which gives the option to share the link with a multitude of apps, including email and SMS.
However, this requires many steps and is slow and inconvenient. In some cases the browser gets redirected to a mobile site making it impossible to share the original URL. Sometimes the browser can't even open the URL, or proceeds to download the content.
