Choosing "Yes" shows the URL in the Eclipse Browser:
Note: It is possible for plugin developers to create their own menu additions (like Send URL) for the ECF Contacts view and share other data via the same mechanisms used in this example. See these links:

- Source code for org.eclipse.ecf.presence.collab.ui plugin, which is responsible for the URL sharing and ECF Tips Tricks View Sharing
