Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not sure if intended or I'm overlooking something here, but when I start a converstion on a shared file via talk sidebar in files I would expect the file is shared to that room. Currently there's no indication that there's a chat for this file, nor is the file itself shared to the created chat.

Describe the solution you'd like
When starting a chat on a shared file in the files sidebar, the file should be added to the chat or linked via project to that chat room.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Sharing the file manually after chat room creation.

Research direction

Start with the files sidebar action that creates a chat room, then trace how the new room is initialized and how files are shared manually. Done means starting a conversation for a shared file visibly links or adds that file to the created chat, with the behavior covered by the relevant existing checks.
