I think the Plasma Active workspace implementation (KDE Plasma workspace for
tablet devices) has something like that. I think they call it "Share-Like-
Connect".
Now, assuming that said technology will also work on Plasma Desktop Workspace
(after all that is using the same core technologies), it could be that this is
more a matter of adding support for that to desktop applications.
My suggestion would be to get in contact with the Plasma developers over at
plasma-devel@kde.org to see if the Share-Like-Connect facility can be reused
or at least used as a starting point.
Cheers,
Kevin
