Bug description

It was expected that all file types from the Recommendations section would behave the same.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open Files.
  2. At the top we see a section called recommendations.
  3. If you click on a folder, positioning will occur on the folder.
  4. If you click on a file, positioning will also occur on the file.
  5. If you click on a Video file, for some reason it opens and the video starts playing.

Expected behavior

Personally, I thought that the files would open. Moreover, the positioning process is not very obvious. The object is barely visible, the color is not bright, only after the 5th try I understood what was happening.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior from Files > Recommendations with folders, ordinary files, and videos. Trace the recommendation click handling and compare the intended action for each file type; confirm the expected behavior with maintainers before changing it, then verify that all relevant types behave consistently and that the selected item is clearly visible.
