“Link” type column: Open internal Nextcloud content accessible via links in the same tab, as is already the case in Deck (attachments) #2294

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, if in a “link” column I point to, for example, a PDF document in Nextcloud Files, the file opens in a new tab... which is time-consuming (the tab has to load Files, then open the PDF document...) and inconvenient (you then have to close the tab).

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose that all internal Nextcloud content (i.e., not links to websites or content hosted outside the Nextcloud instance) should open on top of Nextcloud Tables, in the same tab. This would replicate the exact same behavior as when opening attachments from Deck cards. One click to open the file, one click to close it, and no tab to close.
