### Bug description
Right clicking on a file or folder in an local synced nextcloud folder shows the context menu as expected.
When right clicking on:
**_Copy Internal Link_** and pasting it to a linux destop application (gnome terminal, Signal app, Chrome Browser Window) **nothing** is pasted into the Window. The paste buffer obviously contains NO content (or a previous content, but not the expected one from Nextcloud)
**_Copy Public Link_**: same behavior as "Copy Internal Link": an empty paste buffer. After a small amount of time the Nextcloud Symbol behind the Filename in the Nautilus browser indicating the Nextcloud Status of the file changes to include the "Shared Symbol", in the webbrowser Window to the nextcloud server I can also see, that the File now contains the public link symbol
**_Sharing Options_**: a small (maybe nautilus-client app based, the style looks identical to the one in Nextcloud-MainWindow ) Windows openes. If I create the Link within this Dialog the Paste Buffer is filled correctly with the URL.
It looks very much that the first two operations are happening within the nautilus code, which is not working.
The third operation is probably happing in the nextcloud-client code and working. But using this Window is annoying because additional clicks an mouse movements.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for any help!
