Description
Description:
It's a good user experience if we add jump to file option in the files section also
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to Any channel
- Click on Files on the Top right
- Click on any file
- No option of a jump to file
Expected behavior:
When the user opens the menu for a particular file, there is only a download and delete option available, we can add the jump to the file option which will redirect to that file inside the chat.
Actual behavior:
No Jump to file option available

Research direction
Start from the Files section and the menu shown when a file is opened, then trace how the existing download and delete actions reach the chat file. Add a jump-to-file action that redirects to the selected file inside the chat, and verify it from a channel's Files view.
