  We consider two distant spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles (or qubits) and a number
of interacting objects, all with the same value $S\gg1$ of their respective
spin, distributed on a one-dimensional lattice (or large-$S$ spin chain). The
quantum states of the chain are constructed by linearly combining tensor
products of single-spin coherent states, whose evolution is determined
accordingly, i.e., via classical-like equations of motions. We show that the
quantum superposition of the above product states resulting from a local
interaction between the first qubit and one spin of the chain evolves so that
the second qubit, after having itself interacted with another spin of the
chain, can be entangled with the first qubit. Obtaining such outcome does not
imply imposing constraints on the length of the chain or the distance between
the qubits, which demonstrates the possibility of generating quantum
correlations at a distance by means of a macroscopic system, as far as local
interactions with just a few of its components are feasible.
