Summary:
When an inline link is long-pressed in Safari, an action sheet with only a few built-in options is displayed. It would be much better if a UIActivityViewController was presented or an Action Sheet with share button was presented instead; this would allow all of the share and action extensions that the user has enabled to act on the URL being interacted with.

Steps to Reproduce:
Long-press an inline link in Safari.


Expected Results:
A UIActivityViewController or an action sheet with a share button should be displayed with system actions as well as any action and share extensions that the user has enabled.


Actual Results:
An action sheet with only a few select built-in options is displayed.
