Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For example, if you are preparing meetings on a case in which different files in different folders (and also other data) need to be accessed, it is currently difficult to collect this information in one folder.

Describe the solution you'd like
The problem can be solved, for example, by storing both files and references to files already stored in other folders together (as typ "dossier") in a folder. It might also be possible to support references to other sources (votes, emails, etc.).

Thank you for the great work around nextcloud :-)

Research direction

Start by reviewing Nextcloud's existing folder, file-reference, and sharing capabilities to determine what a dossier would need to support. Clarify whether the scope includes only files or also votes, emails, and other sources; done requires an agreed design and implementation scope.
