Description
The direct editing API which is used by clients to open files through a link in editors like text/collabora or onlyoffice should make use of the added template folder with 21 and expose those for file creation.
- Expose templates for the file creator mimetype
- Find a way to map more than one mimetype since multiple would be possible through the templates api, e.g. odt/ott for creating a new document

Research direction
Start by tracing the direct editing API used to open files from editor links, then inspect how the template folder added with version 21 is exposed. Determine how the file creator mimetype should expose templates and how multiple mappings such as odt/ott should work. Done means templates are available for file creation through direct editing without breaking existing mappings.
