When you share an item and it links to other items, which of the linked items are implicitly shared and which aren't?

The high-level answer is that it should be specified by the Kind's content model. When specifying a non-scalar attribute of a Kind, the attribute's sharing policy should be specified. [ BrianDouglasSkinner, is this a data model feature request? If so, can you communicate this to the data model team?]

Here is a more detailed analysis, with general guidlines for deciding which links should be implicitly shared:

Kind of link Share Link?
Contained notes Yes
Paired item via stamping Yes
Other items in same collection including threads No
Conversation items Yes
User-defined item link attribute To be determined when we discuss user-defined attributes
Reminders (in calendar) No
Email attachment Yes

The last two are examples of domain specific Kind issues
