Description
The "external link" marker of file names let the user know whether a file will be directly opened in the viewer in Talk or opened in a different tab/window, so it should be always visible and not ellipsized if the file name is too long.

Research direction
Open src/components/MessagesList/MessagesGroup/Message/MessagePart/FilePreview.vue around lines 655-659 and inspect how long file names and the external-link marker are rendered. Reproduce the layout with a long file name, using the linked screenshot as the visual reference. Done means the marker remains fully visible while the file name may be ellipsized.
