WP8 - How do I add a share menu?

I was just wondering if there was any way to add a share menu like this: http://puu.sh/5XkRD.jpg

Basically i need it in a way that once the user clicks on the "Share..." menu item in the context menu, the user will be navigated to that share menu where he can select a method to share.

Is anyone able to help me with this?
