Currently, there is no feedback after clicking the download in a Preview.

Describe the solution you'd like

Some sort of indication that a download is happening - Firefox changes the colour of their icon, chrome shows a dialogue IIRC.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A toast that alerts to "download started" and "download finished" with the file location

Research direction

Start by reading src/app/downloads.ts and tracing how a download is triggered from a Preview. Check the existing desktop UI patterns for feedback, then define completion as a visible indication that the download started and finished, including its location if the chosen design supports it.
