Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the behavior with Nextcloud 30.0.5, Camera RAW Previews, and a RAW image, then trace how clicking that image is handled in the viewer. Done means the RAW picture opens in the Viewer instead of triggering a download, across the reported browsers and operating systems.
