Idea: Click URLs in screenshare browser screens

So often when someone is presenting and another person asks if they can share the link (or if someone joins late after the link was posted in chat, they can't access it). Would be neat if the presenter could allow for users to click URLs appearing in the screenshare in browser windows they are sharing. 

Zoom would have to detect the browser tab being shared and create a hyperlink to click of the URL the person that is sharing the tab of.  But it seems like this would be a lot easier if you have access to the page someone is sharing and you can just click on the URL area in the browser in the screenshare window and it opens the URL.

What you could do is share the URLs after the meeting in an email so that all the attendees have access to the URLs regardless of whether they joined late or whether they get posted in the chat. If you want to automate this there is a Zoom app, Salepager, that lets you include URLs in the invitations, reminders or follow up emails to your Zoom meetings with any URLs from the meeting ensuring your participants have access to them.

Yeah that makes sense for a planned out pre-share, but sometimes people bring up pages (confluence, Jira, figma, word docs, etc) on an ad-hoc basis, and I noticed the behavior is for someone to ask if they can link the doc they're sharing then someone puts the link in chat. Would just be a nice feature for anyone watching to be able to just click the URL they're seeing with automatic opening.
