I have used a couple of Apps to work around the issues. We use EasyUpload to send files to a OneDrive folder that is created on the fly for that particular upload. Once the files are uploaded you can use the copy link and paste the link into any program that you would like including Outlook. There is also a share option that will let you send the link via whatever Apps that you have installed. We install and use Share via e-mail to send the links via Outlook. You can also use Share via e-mail to send links via Microsoft Edge and most other Apps. It does not work in the Photos app but the combination of EasyUpload and Share via e-mail work very well.
Here are the links for both Apps.
