Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When in a call, I often want to keep notes and share them with the others. But while the 'share from files' has a plus button, it only allows creating folders:

Of course empty folders are not particularly useful to share into a chat room - a whiteboard or Text document would be!

Describe the solution you'd like

Extend the plus with the other options from Files!

Research direction

Start by locating the share-from-files dialog and the plus-button handling, then compare its available actions with the options in Files. The work is done when the plus menu can create the requested whiteboard or text document types, rather than only folders, and those options work during a call.
