Allow favoriting a file from the file

Convenience. Better UX.

Sometimes (often) I receive a file via a link to it. After processing it I want to favorite it. I don't know where it lives in the library. What to do?

There is no way to get the library path from a dxp file, so if I want to favorite the file, I need to navigate through or search for the file by name. How do I know I have the right file if there are more files than one in the search result?

Why can't I just favorite the file from the file itself? Add a checkbox to the doc props. Easy solution. Four quick clicks and no typing. And then I can favorite a non-Library file as well.


I'd also like to be able to re-order my favorites, especially by how frequently I open them. I'd like to have folders to organize them further. Favorites are good; they can be great with a few more tweaks!
