Linking locations in chat

HI all,

Question on the chat UI - if i find a thing / object / location in the middle of nowhere, that i would like to broadcast the whereabouts of in local chat, how would i go about doing that?

For example, scanning down a wormhole and i'd like to tell everyone in the system where it is. Could use corp' bookmarks if everyone in system is in my corp, but assume they aren't. Could form a fleet and warp them, but assume that all i want to do is tell everyone else for their own potential benefit, ie, "look at this thing i found, you guys might want to check it out", so i won't be in a fleet. I've tried making a private bookmark, moving that into by inventory and moving that into the chat, but the link just comes up empty.

This feels like functionality that such a massively expansive game is likely to have, and I would be surprised if there were no way to do this.

Thanks in advance.
