If you are sharing an article found on another website, all you have to do is add it's URL and when the user clicks the post link on your site they will bypass the post on your site and go directly to the article location. When used, anyplace WordPress would normally link to the post will now link directly to the new URL. The value of this plugin compared to others that might be similar, is that it's lightweight and simply applies a filter to the permalink, so it should work in any theme.
