Open folder in Photos button

[hahagu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Opening a folder in the Files view, and switching then to Photos app to find the same folder is annoying and inefficient.
It also doesn't help that there is no Sort By option in the Photos app's Your Albums/Folders section. Therefore, locating and opening a folder from search/file manager and having an option to view the folder in the Photos app would be a desirable feature.

Describe the solution you'd like
A button within file manager that opens the folder in the Photos app.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is a workaround. It is to paste the folder URL manually into the address bar after going into the directory from the file manager. Not a great solution, but still better than finding the folder from thousands of folders in the Your Albums/Folders section.

I think a similar feature has already been implemented in the old gallery app: https://github.com/nextcloud/gallery/blob/master/js/gallerybutton.js

I will have a look and try to provide a PR in the next few days..
