Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
some files I want to always use a local tool to edit. so I'd like to define some files to be opened by a single click using the "edit locally" option
Describe the solution you'd like
"edit files locally" I would need to be able to set it as the primary option on-click for filetypes i can define serverside.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I'm alright with some kind of hack using an injected js to make that happen too. but sadly I wasn't able to build it myself since Nextcloud 29.
Additional context
I was using my own client to edit files clientside, but it uses builtin webdav of windows and i need to move to use nextclouds official client instead.

Research direction
No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by locating the existing “Edit locally” action and how file types determine the primary click option, then review the Nextcloud 29 client behavior. Done means administrators can define file types whose files open through “Edit locally” on a single click.
