Rather by non-design. The "assemble" feature of the share handler only
exists for a singular item (a file), because when sharing just one
item the meaning is easy. Which is why in the web UI we can afford to
directly show the link to the assembled shared item.
What to do when assembling all the parts when sharing multiple items
transitively is another story. I've had a couple ideas on how to
present that, but none that Brad liked so far. That is why the web UI
shows you the URL of the share claim and leaves with you the
responsibility of using it accordingly (for now).

Please note though, that on the canary branch, this change
https://camlistore-review.googlesource.com/c/camlistore/+/10006
should allow you to directly import to your Camlistore (through the
web UI) all the items that are made accessible by a share claim (that
say, a friend gave you).
