andreasd1 I see your question. I'm running into the same question. Although your question is almost 3 years ago:) What's the current status? The last comment says that it also should work for external shared files. Is that true? I'm using M365 Standard subscription.

And, whether or not clicking them does anything (in my case it does not. 😭)?
