Description

Expected behaviour

With an incoming action from Nextcloud Talk (iOS) (open a sent/shared file in Nextcloud), I want to be located to the file, so I can open an edit it with collabora/onlyoffice.

Actual behaviour

The location of the file opens in an popup within the nextcloud-app. When I click on the file for editing, collabora (or onlyoffice) also opens within this popup. This is not good for editing, because the space is very small.
I think it would be better, if you were located to the file directly, without any popup.

Research direction

Start by tracing how an incoming action from Nextcloud Talk opens a shared file in the iOS app. Compare the current popup flow with direct navigation to the file, then verify that selecting it opens Collabora or OnlyOffice in an appropriately sized editing view.
