"Edit collaboratively" from the desktop client, in file manager and tray menu #1564

Description

@jancborchardt

Currently we have "Open in browser" in the right-click menu of a file. For specific files which enable collaborative editing we can change it to "Edit collaboratively".

  • This can replace the "Open in browser" entry as it’s basically the same thing but better
  • "Open in browser" should be called "Open online", just minor wording
  • The entry should be called "Edit collaboratively"
  • For odt/ods/odp documents, we need to check on the server if Collabora Online is installed.
  • For txt/md we need to check for Nextcloud Text on the server
  • We shouldn’t expose the app name as this is not really relevant to regular people.
  • It’s focused on Collabora Online, OnlyOffice and Text, and if there are multiple apps to edit with it should just pick 1 for simplicity.

Similarly we could do that for the activity stream in the improved tray menu #877: If a synced file is txt/md/odt/etc the action button could say "Edit" (better wording welcome, but we are short on space).

right click menu
(The mockup has a unified menu for right-click, that’s a separate discussion though so feel free to ignore that. ;)
