Link to media
We want to use the media library to provide PDF files for download on CMS pages. While there are special plugins for this, sometimes a simple link would do.
Current process:
- go to media library
- finde the PDF
- use copy link
- go to CMS page
- click the "link" button
- choose URL option
- paste the link, remove the base URL (for better portability between development and production instances)
A better approach would be to be able to directly link to media files in place.
See the attached screenshot:
1) I click the link button
2) I choose "media file in the dropdown"
3) I get a media browser popup to choose the media entity
That chooser is already present for products and there it replaces the base URL by a UUID placeholder. This should then happen also for media files.

There is already a pull request https://github.com/shopware/platform/pull/2685 which is currently a bit stalled because we made it depend on another pull request :-) Still an important feature I suppose.
