iOS Feature Request: add "copy attachment name"

Thanks for the great iOS app. I believe it will make my research workflow on iPad more productive if this feature can be added.

For each item in zotero, I stored PDF file in Dropbox and created a link to zotero using Zotfile. This allows me to store all PDFs in one folder and access them on other devices easily. Now with the iOS zotero app, I can sync the entire library, but the linked attachment cannot be opened because it is just a link, not the original PDF file (as show in this screenshot https://i.imgur.com/kAm6jJj.png ). I'm wondering if there is a way to open the link from my iOS devices.

One solution I can think of is to add a "copy attachment name" option when long-press the attachment file, as show in the screenshot https://i.imgur.com/k6JaRJi.png . Then I will be able to search for the file name in my Dropbox folder, or create a Shortcut script to automatically locate and open the PDF file in external PDF reader on iPad.

I would appreciate it if this feature can be added. Thanks a lot.
