Send item link by email? (EDM SP2013)

Question

Is there a way to directly send an item link by email?

I have a SP2013 based EDM. I know that docs URL are available in a popup, but I don't want to copy/paste link: I would like to be able to click on a button in ribbon/popup that opens email client with embeded link.

Thanks for your help!

Edit: this is the current view that I need to improve: there should be either an email button in the popup view or in the ribbon when item is selected

You can add custom action to the list callout according to this article.

In a nutshell:

function myCallback()
{
    var link = window.location; // for current item you can probably get this from  renderCtx, can't test right now
    var emailSubject = "email subject" // Here you can add article title, or just static string
    window.location = "mailto:?Subject=" + escape(emailSubject) + "&body=" + encodeURI(link)
});


function AddCustomAction (renderCtx, calloutActionMenu) {   
  // Add your custom action
  calloutActionMenu.addAction (new CalloutAction ({
    text: "Email",
    tooltip: "Email link to item",
    onClickCallback: function() { myCallback(); }
  }));

  // Show the default document library actions
  CalloutOnPostRenderTemplate(renderCtx, calloutActionMenu);
}
