Send, wait for it to appear, annotate, email it to yourself, save as pdf. Am I missing something?

No, I think that's right.
It's much better than including an email attachment which might fail due to attachment size limits or mailbox policy, not to mention chewing up mailbox storage (local and or cloud). And if they offer option to send SMS instead, it's going to work the same with that.
Keep in mind it's designed to let you share the link with other mail addresses, so you want it to
just work and not clutter up
their inboxes with attachments.
But in real world this is going to look suspicious and there will be some question that it is really you sending it and that it's okay to click the fancy link, particularly since you cannot even say 'it is me! really!' along with the link.
For that reason alone I'd like SMS option, then I can forward without them questioning identity so much, use Contacts groups instead of having to type a bunch of email addresses on Scribe.
I hope very much this is just another placeholder for better things to come.
