SUMMARY

I have Kontact with Kmail installed as Flatpak from fedora flatpak repository. When I receive pdfs as attachment, I cannot open them with okular without saving them first to disk. Same issue for any other attachment types.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  receive an email with pdf attachment (or other file)
2.  click on them for open
3. notice that okular is not an option and app chooser is basically empty

OBSERVED RESULT

Cannot open with okular

EXPECTED RESULT

flatpak aplication chooser portal opens and permits to open file with okular

Related flatpak bug concerning composing mails with attachment: while granting kontact access to all system files may be good workaround, it would be better to rely on the flatpak open file portal: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486838

I have switched to the flatpak from the flathub repository at https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.kontact . Same problem with the version 5.24.4
