Description

With Onlyoffice running on a Nextcloud instance, an attached desktop client adds an "edit" shortcut directly into the right-click menu of synchronized office files. On click, the browser opens directly in editing mode.

For MS Office Online however, there is only the standard "Open in browser" item.

I don't know if here is the right place or if this should be handled in the Desktop repo, but the same feature would be great also for MS Office Online.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. First determine whether the context-menu integration belongs in officeonline or the Desktop repository, then compare the existing OnlyOffice edit shortcut with the MS Office Online integration. Done means synchronized office files expose an edit action that opens the browser directly in editing mode.
