Public bug reported:

It would be nice to have an "Import" option to a text field's context
menu, next to cut/copy/paste, that will open a ContentPeerPicker for
apps that can share Text.

Currently you can open another app, and copy text from it if it supports
copying, then paste it into the text field. But we have a nice
ContentHub service that supports sharing chunks of text, and it would
streamline the user experience if we could enable this by default for
text inputs.

Bonus points if we could send some context along with the import
request, such as what app or website it's going to, but I don't think
the ContentHub API supports that.
