Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem?**
Not really a problem, but several apps (eg Journal, MS To-Do) have added ink gestures to manipulate items. I think this would be a cool thing to have in Files.

**Describe the solution**
Add support for ink gestures for manipulating items in layout modes. Some gestures could be scribble to delete, circle to select multiple items, check to toggle selection.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
N/A

**Scope**

| Capability | Priority |
| :---------- | :------- |
| This proposal will allow users to manipulate elements with a pen | Must |

**Additional comment**
