Insults? :D All welcome. I think the Plasma Active workspace implementation (KDE Plasma workspace for tablet devices) has something like that. I think they call it "Share-Like- Connect". Now, assuming that said technology will also work on Plasma Desktop Workspace (after all that is using the same core technologies), it could be that this is more a matter of adding support for that to desktop applications. My suggestion would be to get in contact with the Plasma developers over at plasma-devel@xxxxxxx to see if the Share-Like-Connect facility can be reused or at least used as a starting point.
