Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are working with rather big file system and having the option to instantly draft a new email message with the attachment from the Files app would be a great improvement instead of downloading the file and attaching it or finding the file again in the "Choose from Files" option.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a "Send via email" option to the Files context menu. After choosing this options, the Nextcloud should swap to the Email app and open a new message with the file already attached.

Research direction
Start by examining how the Files app exposes context-menu actions and how the Mail app opens a new message. Trace the existing "Choose from Files" attachment flow and the handoff between the two apps. Done means a context-menu action opens a new Mail message with the selected file attached.
