I’m not 100% sure about this but I think only the right sidebar has some vue.js - this is still Backbone or something like that - old code… it probably won’t be too easy to add things there. Sorry! There’s work going on (slowly) to port the entire Files view to vue.js but we’re not there yet.
I think it’s possible, it’s just… not easy. I don’t know who can help, to be honest - this code is not very actively maintained as it is old. As I said, we intend to replace it fully at some point, not sure when yet.
But you’ll have to dive in the code itself to find out where it is. You can try to ask on the dev chat channel (see nextcloud.com/developer for a link) but no promises anyone even knows where you can find the exact code.
