Yes it would although it's a pain... BlueStacks is a program that acts like a Android on a desktop (aka allowing you to install WhatsApp and make a WhatsApp account on ur desktop) and then u can send the file.

At least what I mean, is if it's for a one time thing, it's not worth it.
That being said, if this is more of a constant need, sure go ahead. T just entails a few steps to get it to work.

Way of preventing spam / abuse?

When google.com takes you to the wrong place, people would abuse that so fast (unless you’re “savvy enough” to look at what every URL is before actually clicking through).
