Link to a file's detail page in File Approval requests

Approvers of file approval tasks in the Tasks module want direct access to the related files' detail pages. This would make it easier to review additional file information without interrupting the approval process. Problem / Pain File approval requests are handled as approval tasks in the Tasks module. Each requested file is shown as a thumbnail with its filename under "Download profiles for approval", but there is no direct link from the task to the file's detail page. When approvers need additional context, such as metadata, usage rights, related versions, or a full-size preview, they have to switch to the File module and search for the file manually. Impact / Benefit Direct access to the file's detail page would make the approval process more efficient, especially when several files are being reviewed or when the filename alone does not provide enough context. It would also make it easier for approvers to verify relevant file details before making a decision. Use case An approver reviews a file approval task in the Tasks module and needs additional information, such as a large preview, keywords, usage restrictions, or related files, before making a decision. By clicking the filename or thumbnail, the approver could open the corresponding file's detail page directly, ideally in a new tab, and return to the approval task without losing their place (see attached screenshot).
