Create a new shortcut
Open the Shortcuts app, tap the plus button at the top right, then tap the name at the top and rename it to PullDL.
Show it in the Share Sheet
Open the shortcut's details with the info button, turn on Show in Share Sheet, and keep only URLs and Text as the accepted types.
Send the shared link to PullDL
Add the action Get Contents of URL and paste the address shown below. Tap Show More, set Method to POST and Request Body to JSON, then add a Text field named url and set its value to the Shortcut Input variable.
Pick out the file links
Add the action Get Dictionary Value, choose Value for the key media_urls, and let it read from the Contents of URL result.
Download each file and save it
Add Repeat with Each over the dictionary value. Inside it add Get Contents of URL (URL set to Repeat Item) followed by Save to Photo Album. Tap Done, then use Share, PullDL from any app.
