[Request]: Android support for `Intent.createChooser` for `ACTION_EDIT`

share_plus

Description

We would like to request to have the plugin support for Intent.createChooser with ACTION_EDIT as well as the ACTION_SEND.

Problematic Use Case

As an example use case, in Android I want to Share a word docx file to Microsoft Word to open the file, but Microsoft Word doesn't appear in the list of apps to share to.

For iOS, by using the UIActivityViewController, it seems to achieve the equivalent of Intent.createChooser of both ACTION_SEND and ACTION_EDIT. In the case of sharing a word docx file, I can share it to Microsoft Word and edit the file with it.

It would be great to have parity between iOS and Android. And my request/question is to have (or whether it's possible to have) support for Android to have parity with iOS functionality.

Other Solutions Considered

I have actually attempted to achieve this function of Intent.createChooser with ACTION_EDIT through android_intent_plus, but wasn't successful.

I have no Android native experience outside of Flutter, so it could be due to my unfamiliarity. If android_intent_plus is the suggested solution to my case, please let me know, and any guidance on it (if possible) would be greatly appreciated.

Proposal

We are currently using https://github.com/enfold/file_edit_launcher to achieve this use case of Intent.createChooser with ACTION_EDIT.
