"Share with people in org" results in cluttered Shared with me view
Thanks for following up! My guess is that adding the anonymous link to the web part is what caused the issue. We don't recommend using the anonymous link for that type of scenario.
There's also a known issue around SWM not updating after losing access (or at least it taking a while). Stay tuned for more info.

MicrosoftHi bart_vermeersch,
Can you answer a few questions to make sure I understand what's going on? You're creating a link that works for people in your organization, right? And when you share, are you sending it to just Person B or is it going to a security group containing multiple people?
The way things are supposed to work: A link that works for people in your organization will only show up in your Shared With Me view if the link was actually sent to you. Thanks!

Deleted, great! Let me know how it goes :)

- Test, working as intended. If it didn't work that way, the Shared with me view would probably be enormous :). Bart let us know how you guys are sharing that out exactly so maybe we can see whats going on.

Deleted, yep, that's correct! The sharing model now has two pieces: Permissions and Links. Permissions are the classic model for how sharing works. Links are objects that have a permission and a scope/audience but require the recipient to actually possess the link to access it. I highly recommend watching Eugene's talk from Ignite 2017 if you want to learn more!
- Oh ok, I see how it works and why I myself was confused because the old school SHarePoint in me thought you guys were slapping on a "Everyone except External Access" group onto the item when choosing that option, but it's actually doing a link method where you only can access with org login. Makes sense now, in this case, yeah this shouldn't show up in the Shared with me view!
