Declarative protocol: dynamic menu entries in clients

[tobiasKaminsky]

• add available endpoints to capabilities, e.g. "add to deck"
  • define syntax
• clients show menu entry
• upon click they query from server form/view via declarative protocol
  • version schema/backward compatibility
  • can we re-use an existing protocol
• clients will render it natively

Use cases for now to focus on

• "add file/folder to OpenProject task"
• "show projects related to the file/folder"

@Rello and @tobiasKaminsky will coordinate it

Android:

• Lib: Declarative UI android-library#1836
• Files: Declarative UI android#16111

Scope to be decided:

• file actions in mobile clients
• file actions (right click) in desktop clients
• file actions in Web UI
• "new" actions in mobile "+ button"
• "new" actions in desktop in newly defined "+ button" in tray menu
• "new" actions in right-click in desktop clients (just for file creations)
• quick actions in the activity stream in mobile clients
• quick actions in the activity stream in desktop clients
• quick actions in the app-listing in the desktop clients

Showcase ideas

• OpenProject: add file/folder to open project task
• OpenProject: show projects related to the file/folder
• Deck
  • create new deck card
  • assign file to deck card
• whiteboard => create in doc root => open Web UI to edit Whiteboard

dynamic menu entries are possible within win but not mac, so we need to find a consistent approach with e.g. one generic menu entry and then offering everything else in a modal.
