Steps to reproduce
- Create a new markdown file (or just use any other available file)
- Share this file with another user
- Start a chat with this other user within the side bar of the file
- The other user receives a chat notification and opens the chat.
Expected behaviour
The media tab should show the file which the sender wants to talk about (actually he started a chat about a file!).
Actual behaviour
The media tab is empty. Linked file can only be found by clicking the "gear" symbol, which is not obvious (the gear indicates that this is about settings).

Research direction
Reproduce the file conversation flow in the Talk app using the listed steps, then trace how the media tab handles attachments and linked files. Done means the file discussed in a conversation appears in the media tab rather than only through the gear menu.
