Description

As discussed in the image upload pull request, I'd love to see this extended to arbitrary files. If I drag in an image, it becomes an image tag, if it's any other filetype, it becomes a regular Link.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing image upload implementation in the repository, understand how file types are detected and uploaded, and extend it to handle other file types like zip, doc, pdf, stl.
