[1] takes more common approach, and [2] as well

In fact trunk version of Library can browse shared Journal objects(but
cannot download them). I just decided to integrate all
Library(implemented of future) features to Journal [3].. and at the end
it was postponed for 0.88. Anyway I'm going to continue coding it for
0.86(as a standalone activity) or for 0.88 as soon as possible.
