facebook - getting context of user that clicks on a FB shared link

Is there a way that of a link which an app shared to Facebook via open graph action to the news feed, which when a user/friend of the sharer clicks on it, it redirects to a landing page, where we could grab the information of the user (e.g. Facebook ID) just from the click itself? It might sound a bit magical, but anyone out there knows how?

Of course it´s not possible to just grab the user information just by his click, he MUST authorize your App for that. And you don´t get the real ID anyway, only an "App Scoped ID". Check out the changelog for more information: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
