Rename files directly while viewing #55186

Description

@rosnu

I would like the ability to rename a file directly while viewing a document.

Use case:
I frequently rename PDFs based on the content I am currently viewing. At the moment, this requires switching back to the Files app, which is cumbersome — especially when the filenames are cryptic.

Proposed solution:
Add a “Rename” option in the details sidebar. This could be placed in the … dropdown menu (currently containing only a few options like Tags and Favorites) or "in-place". (a possibly necessary refresh wouldn’t bother me)

Additional benefit:
This functionality could also be extended to other file types beyond PDFs.
