determining that the user interaction is a contextual triggering event corresponding to a capture of a hyperlink in a clipboard based on a plurality of triggering conditions, the hyperlink corresponding to a media content item, the clipboard including data structures with metadata that identifies the media content item and an associated user profile; identifying the media content item associated with the contextual triggering event; generating a first user interface including a user-selectable element representing a content transmission proposal; and in response to detecting a user selection of the user-selectable element, generating a second user interface, the second user interface including the hyperlink, a plurality of user-selectable entity icons, and an avatar of the hyperlink. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the content transmission proposal comprises the media content item. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining a plurality of triggering conditions based on content transmission history data or user preference data; and determining the contextual triggering event based on the plurality of triggering conditions. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the contextual triggering event is a playback of a media content item. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the contextual triggering event is a capture of a media content item by a sensor. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: in response to detecting the user selection of the user-selectable element, instead of generating the second user interface, generating a third user interface including a user interface icon corresponding to a suggestion of adding the media content item to a collection of media content. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of user-selectable entity icons is associated with a connected user profile in an entity graph. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the user-selectable element is associated with a text indicator. ### Claim 9 A system comprising: one or more processors; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: receiving indication of a user interaction within a pre-determined time period; determining that the user interaction is a contextual triggering event corresponding to a capture of a hyperlink in a clipboard based on a plurality of triggering conditions, the hyperlink corresponding to a media content item, the clipboard including data structures with metadata that identifies the media content item and an associated user profile; identifying the media content item associated with the contextual triggering event; generating a first user interface including a user-selectable element representing a content transmission proposal; and in response to detecting a user selection of the user-selectable element, generating a second user interface, the second user interface including the media content item and a plurality of user-selectable entity icons. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the content transmission proposal comprises the media content item. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more processors further perform operations comprising: determining a plurality of triggering conditions based on content transmission history data or user preference data; and determining the contextual triggering event based on the plurality of triggering conditions. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the contextual triggering event is a playback of a media content item. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the contextual triggering event is a capture of a media content item by a sensor. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the second user interface includes the hyperlink and an avatar of the media content item. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more processors further perform operations comprising: in response to detecting the user selection of the user-selectable element, instead of generating the second user interface, generating a third user interface including a user interface icon corresponding to a suggestion of adding the media content item to a collection of media content. ### Claim 16 A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instruction data executable by a machine to cause the machine to perform operations comprising: receiving indication of a user interaction within a pre-determined time period; determining that the user interaction is a contextual triggering event corresponding to a capture of a hyperlink in a clipboard based on a plurality of triggering conditions, the hyperlink corresponding to a media content item, the clipboard including data structures with metadata that identifies the media content item and an associated user profile; identifying the media content item associated with the contextual triggering event; generating a first user interface including a user-selectable element representing a content transmission proposal; and in response to detecting a user selection of the user-selectable element, generating a second user interface, the second user interface including the media content item and a plurality of user-selectable entity icons. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 16, wherein the content transmission proposal comprises the media content item. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 16, having instruction data executable by the machine to cause the machine to perform operations further comprising: determining a plurality of triggering conditions based on content transmission history data or user preference data; and determining the contextual triggering event based on the plurality of triggering conditions. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 16, wherein the contextual triggering event is a playback of a media content item. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 16, wherein each of the plurality of user-selectable entity icons is associated with a connected user profile in an entity graph.
