Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
One can get notified if a document was downloaded by a public share link, but one does not know which public share link was used. As one can create multiple public share links per file/folder, it would be great if one could see the name of the public link used.

Describe the solution you'd like
The activity stream not only shows which file was downloaded by a public link but also which public link (indicated by URL or name that was given) was used.

Describe alternatives you've considered
none
