This is definitely the right line of thinking. I think for the typical behavior to work one expects from this, we'd need to make that behavior pattern of sharing links part of the site to begin with. I'm not uniformly opposed to this, but it's not a direction we'd go lightly because the benefits of crossposting to the site are big for the end user experience.
We'd like to make it easier to share more casually if it could be beneficial. Like if you want to tell people about a GitHub repo they should check out, you don't need a lengthy blog post, a quick. Hey, check this out. May suffice, and buttonizing it on GitHub (through a browser extension, unless they cooperated on the implementation, which is unlikely) makes sense.
Thanks for the feedback. I really enjoy these sorts of discussions.

I was thinking of something like resource.
