Sending another CRM user a link to a specific record is a very common use case. There used to be a "Copy A Link" feature to take the current record URL to clipboard, but it was IE dependent and is no longer working in most scenarios. There is the "Email A Link" button on the Command Bar, but this opens an unnecessary draft email in the default email client if you would rather be wanting to add the link to an existing email message, share it via IM, post it on Yammer, include it in OneNote etc.

Although the clipboard may no longer be available, all we would need is a modal dialog window that shows the record URL in an easy to grab format. You know, like the Chrome CRM DevTools add-in by Sonoma Partners already does (picture attached).

This would certainly help in reducing the number of times users mistakenly grab the URL from the browser address bar, as they are mislead by the "main.aspx#903434344" to thinking that it's a unique link to the specific record. Ultimately, having that visible URL be the actual "short URL" for accessing the currently open record, view, dashboard etc. would be the best solution, but a simple modal window would go a long way in improving the system usability for sharing record links.
