**As** a user
**I want to** be able to unlink already existing files directly from the file picker modal
**so that** I don't need to exit that modal to unlink undesired files
**Acceptance criteria**
* Once the user opens the file picker modal the already selected files are not greyed out but have the checkmark selected and can be unliked directly from there.
* The link that opens the modal from the file list is no longer "Link existing files" but "Manage linked files" (TBD).
* The modal header needs to change from "Select files" to "Manage files" (TBD).
* The button in the action bar should adapt its message depending on the case:
* The user is only adding new links: "Link X file(s)" (current behaviour)
* The user is only removing links: "Unlink X file(s)" (TBD)
* The user is doing both actions: "Confirm file(s) changes" (TBD)
* The unlink option from the storage files list hover actions is still available.
**Concerns:**
* Cognitively overloading the familiar file/location picking dialogue.
* The file structure in the picker does not necessarily contain all linked files as the current user might not have access to some. Then "managing" refers to a subset of files, which is confusing.
* It makes a very generic component (file/location picker) become very specific and less reusable.
