This really does sound cool!
Just curious, what's the context of the sharing? Are you looking to post it on social media or just to copy a link and share via email?
I'm imagining you could share your profile and it would get a little social card designed like what appears on Twitter when you post an article. For instance, run an article through Twitter's card validator and you'll see what I mean.
Maybe it would look a bit like using the liquid tag for a profile:
