Description

## Unexpected behavior report && Feature request

These are combined into one because they're very closely related.

**Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using:**
Nexctloud server: 30.0.12
Desktop: 3.16.6 (linux; ubuntu 24 lts)

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When I see this:

I can't just click on the error notice and be taken to the error location. In this particular instance, it turned out to be a broken sync-link (target server folder doesn't exist.) But sometimes the error is much more difficult to find, especially among a long-long list of file changes.

### 1. **Describe the solution you'd like**
I really want to right- or double- or single-click on the error message to be taken to a description of the error. Any of:

- the error banner in the sync-settings;
- the failed-sync notice in the long-long-long list of file changes;
- auto-open the log, if it's something that can be found in the log.

### 2. Also,
It would be super-duper-double-awesome to be able to filter that long-long list of file changes by renames, moves, creations, error messages, date/time, etc.

Search is great, but totally useless if what I want is to filter by activity type.

### 3. And
There is never a time when I want the window to be ephemeral. Create the window and leave it open until I intentionally close it, please. I would far rather suffer the minor inconvenience of closing the window after checking on it than suffer the major inconvenience of having to continuously re-open it after it closes itself, repeatedly, after every interaction.
