Description
Allow QuickLook to cancel the operation of trying to open the file when the online file is still downloading then I suddenly selected another file. QuickLook apparently waits for the file before continuing and it essentially "freezes" the app when the download fails or when you press the cancel button (which often leads to worse errors even on other apps) on the notification telling that the QuickLook is pulling a file from OneDrive.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening an online OneDrive file in QuickLook, then pressing Space again or selecting a locally available cloud file while the download is in progress. Start by tracing the QuickLook download notification and cancellation path; done means the pending operation stops cleanly, the new selection opens, and a failed or cancelled download does not freeze QuickLook or cause worse errors in other apps.
