Description
Currently if an user on a Mobile client clicks on a link, e.g. in Mail, then it opens the website.
There is no easy way to open the link within installed mobile apps (Files, Talk).
So my idea is
- user clicks on server.com/f/123 or server.com/s/123
- Cloud site opens and offers on top "open in client (if installed)"
- this is then a nc-open://account=$account&file=123&app=talk/files (tbd)
- click on it open the file in corresponding app

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how server.com/f/123 and server.com/s/123 are handled in the Cloud site and how installed Files or Talk clients could receive an nc-open link; done means a link offers the appropriate installed client and opens the file there.
