Some nautilus-sendto integration would be in order then. I did this for
Evolution, so you can right-click on attachments and have them sent via
Bluetooth, or another person straight away, without having to save them

It's pretty much the same architecture. We should be using Conduit for
this (Conduit ships with a Totem plugin that allows you to upload the
currently playing video to Youtube, without going through a web browser,
or another application).
