Embed files (like pdf) in Writer

I really like to ditch MS Office for Collabora, just a few things I am missing.
One of them is embedding a file in a document by drag-n-drop or copy-paste. In MS Word I can select and copy (Ctrl+C) a file in the explorer, switch to Word and paste (Ctrl+V). The whole file is embedded, with a proper icon, and the file name. When double-clicking the embedded file, it is opened in the associated application (not in Drawer).
I know that in Collabora this can somehow be done by Insert OLE (Insert OLE Object), but this is not as fast and user friendly as in Word.
Can this feature be added?

The funny thing is: in Writer I opened a document created in MS Word that has a pdf embedded: Writer neatly shows a pdf icon and the pdf file name. And when I double click the icon, the pdf opens in the associated program. I can’t get this done with a new pdf file I want to embed in Writer.

Hello @MaartenGrr welcome to the COOL community :purple_heart:

it would make a good enhancement request!

Do you have a Github account? You could submit it as a “Feature Request” to the Collabora Online github:
