Yeah this would be a big plus for me too - if the sharing platform is really going to be useful, it should be right there at the point where you need the resource. And with my dreamer hat on, we will also have a ’share this symbol’ button one day that lets you directly share any resource with a permissive ‘do what you like’ license to a central QGIS style platform, something like the noun icon project.
