Description
### Your use case
#### What would you like to do?
Share location manually without giving location access or waiting for gps etc
#### Why would you like to do it?
- maybe paranoid about location services
- battery power of location services
- **select a location that is not my position which I need to do manually anyway**
#### How would you like to achieve it?
decouple (manual) location sharing from location access
### Have you considered any alternatives?
_No response_
### Additional context
Others tell me that they can share locations manually in 1.4.11 but they need to enable location services and allow the app to access. Then they can share locations manually even without waiting for the phone to find its location. I have double checked both, I can see my location in a maps app, yet switching back to element it errors "could not access your location. Please try again later."
